Westcroft School is an exceptionally welcoming place for pupils to learn. Staff quickly form positive relationships with pupils and their families. They work as a team to decide how best to support their pupils so that they make the best progress possible, and pupils do. The school has developed an ambitious curriculum that meets the special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) of the wide range of pupils at this school. Central to the curriculum is helping pupils gain independence in their learning and preparing them for their future. The school does this well. Older pupils talk about possible careers and are ambitious about the future. Pupils are happy and feel safe in school. Staff skilfully help pupils manage their behaviour. Because of this, behaviour in school is good. Pupils are proud of their school. They are considerate and take care of each other. The personal development of pupils is a strength of the school. Pupils appreciate the vast opportunities and trips they experience through the curriculum. They particularly enjoy the residential trips to a local outdoor activity centre. Pupils were animated when they recalled walking through the woods at night, making a fire, and cooking on it.
