School Description

The school’s values of ‘be passionate, be brave, be caring and be ambitious’ underpin all the school does. Pupils enjoy collecting reward ‘tickets’ or points when they demonstrate these values in their work and attitude. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive. Staff are passionate and ambitious for all pupils to succeed. Staff take time to get to know pupils. They understand their special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and interests well. Most pupils’ behaviour improves the longer they are at the school. They are mostly respectful of staff and visitors. Pupils reflect on their emotions. They learn to regulate their feelings and behaviour. Class sizes are small and pupils benefit from individual support in lessons. Teachers can spend plenty of time working with each pupil. Most pupils engage well with their learning. Pupils say they feel happy and safe. The school provides a wealth of opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests through enrichment opportunities. This includes visits to local amenities and places of interest, such as museums and the library. Pupils especially enjoy opportunities to learn outdoors and be around the school’s animals, such as Loki the dog, Truffles the pig, Eric the goat and the alpacas.
