School Description

Pupils feel safe and cared for at Wessex Lodge School. Staff give pupils’ well-being the highest priority. Leaders place a strong emphasis on staff building solid relationships with pupils. They train staff to understand why pupils’ behaviour can be challenging and how best to respond. Many pupils have missed a lot of learning before they join the school. Leaders gather detailed information on new pupils. Teachers use this information to write personal plans for each pupil. This helps pupils to successfully re-engage with learning and meet teachers’ high expectations. Pupils typically behave well and show respect for each other and staff. When this is not the case, staff work skilfully with pupils to help them settle back into learning. Should bullying occur, pupils know that staff will deal with incidents quickly and effectively. The school provides pupils with a wide range of opportunities on two contrasting sites. These range from classroom lessons to farm-related studies. For example, pupils have the opportunity to care for livestock on the working farm. Pupils also take part in a wide range of sporting and outdoor activities. These help to build their self-esteem, resilience and knowledge of healthy lifestyles.
