Tram House is an exceptional, calm and caring place to learn. Pupils and the students in the sixth form are greeted warmly every morning by staff. They enjoy arriving at school and they attend well. They make excellent progress towards their personal targets and achieve many external qualifications. Staff have very high expectations of what pupils and students can do and what they could achieve in the future. Pupils receive the help they need to participate in learning. Skilled staff ensure that pupils consistently follow the school’s rules and routines. Pupils’ behaviour does not usually interrupt other pupils’ learning. Their interactions with each other are kind and considerate. Pupils know staff are there to help them whenever they need it. They appreciate this greatly. Pupils benefit from many opportunities to help them to be prepared for life after they leave Tram House. Pupils learn how to travel independently using public transport. They visit local parks, shops, places of worship, sports facilities, and the local swimming pool to enrich their lives. Students in the sixth form participate in experiences of work in school and with local businesses. They enjoy this and it helps them to look towards the future with great ambition.
