Pupils are keen to be kind and caring. Often, they do not get the right support at the right time. When this happens, pupils become bored, anxious, distressed or frustrated. This results in some pupils exhibiting aggressive or violent behaviours towards themselves, other pupils, or, more often than not, the staff. Too many pupils access poor-quality learning opportunities, both in lessons and during social times. These pupils do not receive provision that considers all of their needs, abilities and interests in a coherent way. They do not develop early communication and reading skills. They are not well prepared for adulthood when they leave the school. Older pupils say that they used to enjoy responsibilities, such as being on the school council, but have not had these opportunities for some time. They say that the school needs more money to improve their facilities, such as the playing areas and the swimming pool. They say that they really value and have good relationships with the staff. They feel that staff try their very best. However, they also say that there is a lot of staffing change.
