School Description

Pupils are well supported to develop socially and emotionally. Most pupils re-engage with learning after long periods out of education or not doing well at previous schools. However, some pupils have left the school in the past because leaders and staff were not meeting their needs. Beyond English and mathematics, pupils do not always learn what they need to know so that they make the progress in the curriculum that they should. Learning focuses on what pupils need to know to participate in life outside of school. Pupils learn how to be independent. For example, they use what they have learned in real life situations. Older pupils get the help they need to make choices about their next steps in education, training, or employment. Pupils say behaviour has improved since the inspections in January and October 2020. They know what is expected of them. Pupils develop good relationships with one another and staff. Pupils and staff participate enthusiastically in games at lunchtimes. Most pupils attend school regularly. Bullying, when it happens, is dealt with quickly. Pupils feel safe in school. Pupils develop understanding of responsibility and empathy for others. They take part in charity work for the local community. Pupils enjoy outside activities like country walks. They all take part in work experience placements. Some parents are very positive about what the school has done to help their children.
