School Description

Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are eager to get to lessons as soon as the school day starts. Lessons are interesting, with resources that pupils like. Pupils feel safe and happy. They like the adults who work with them. Behaviour at the school is exemplary. Pupils are excellent ambassadors for their school. They greet visitors with interest and are polite. Sometimes pupils need support to manage how they are feeling, and they get better at this as they get older. Parents and carers agree that bullying is rare. When parents do have concerns, the school listens and responds without delay. Many pupils at the school need extra help to maintain and develop their physical skills. The curriculum includes activities to support mobility and physical well-being. Parents have a say in what their child works on. Over time, pupils become more independent and learn to communicate more. For many pupils, this is an amazing achievement, because of their very complex needs. Leaders and school staff have very high expectations for all pupils. The curriculum helps pupils work on what is most important for them and their families. Pupils are very well prepared for the move to secondary school.
