Tudor Lodge is a safe and caring place to learn. Pupils’ lives are transformed by attending this school, and they thrive. Parents and carers overwhelmingly value the work that the school does to support their children, a typical comment being, ‘Tudor Lodge has been life-changing for my son.’ This is because the school focuses exceptionally well on understanding individual pupils’ educational needs as well as their social, emotional and mental health. There is consistency in how therapeutic staff and teaching staff work together. As a result, staff put in place highly personalised education, therapeutic approaches and pastoral care that meet the needs of all pupils precisely. The day begins with a well-being session where staff help pupils review the previous day, discuss concerns and set targets. Pupils prepare for learning in this way and demonstrate commitment and positive attitudes. This also enables staff to get to know pupils extraordinarily well. Further, highly effective and orderly routines help pupils learn and build strong, trusting relationships with staff. Consequently, pupils feel safe and learn to understand their own emotions and behaviour. In addition, pupils develop strategies to regulate their behaviour very well and to be respectful.
