School Description

Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming school. Staff are very caring and supportive. Parents and carers appreciate the help staff give to them and to their children. Staff understand pupils’ individual needs well. Everyone strives to help pupils find success at school. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage in their education or employment. This is because leaders make sure that pupils’ futures are central to all decision-making. Relationships between staff and pupils are very positive. Pupils know staff will look after them and help them to learn. Staff are very skilled in meeting the pupils’ complex needs. Leaders have high expectations that pupils will use the clear routines they learn to help them tackle challenges independently. Pupils’ behaviour is good. They are considerate of each other’s needs and engage very well with their learning. They have positive attitudes to their education. Pupils feel safe and happy. They are confident that if bullying happens, staff will deal with it quickly and effectively. Leaders make sure that all pupils can take part in a wide range of clubs and activities that inspire and interest them. For example, pupils get the opportunity for international travel.
