Pupils are mostly positive about their school. Those who have attended for longer acknowledge the improvements made since the last inspection. Pupils have a favourable view of their school. They particularly appreciate the patience of staff. This is an all-boys school for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They are sometimes off-task or disengaged from learning, but staff deal with this well. Pupils readily acknowledge behaviour is not always perfect. However, those who talked to inspectors said they feel safe here, not least because staff understand them and give them space when needed. One older pupil was blunt when he told an inspector, ‘It’s a small school for boys with SEND, so obviously there are complications with relationships at times’. Others agreed but were also keen to point out that the school has helped them to become more aware and understanding of the impact of their actions on others. Staff have appropriately high expectations of what pupils can achieve. They know pupils well, despite the challenges presented by relatively high levels of pupil mobility and the different pathways some follow. Nevertheless, due to the bespoke nature of the curriculum, pupils are now achieving increasingly well by the time they leave the school.
