Pupils are extremely happy and safe in this inclusive school. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and conduct. The care and support that pupils receive is first class. They are known as individuals. Pupils feel loved and respected. They learn a range of strategies to manage their feelings and behaviours positively. As a result, pupils’ confidence and communication skills develop significantly over time. Pupils flourish and achieve highly at Walton Leigh School. They develop their leadership skills through a rich range of experiences. Pupils delight in taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and relish the myriad of opportunities that promote their independence and resilience. Pupils enjoy working at cafés in the local area and work experience at a day care centre. They are excited about their recent skiing expedition. Pupils also value visiting the local library and the cinema. A major highlight is their outings to the supermarket to purchase ingredients for the tasty meals they learn to cook from scratch. As well as being classroom ambassadors and monitors, pupils are delighted to be voted to the school council. At breaktimes, they enjoy catching up with their friends, relaxing in the sensory garden and riding bikes.
