School Description

A cheerful warm welcome awaits pupils as they arrive at this school. This positive approach carries on throughout all activities during the day. Consequently, strong and trusting relationships between adults and pupils are built, and pupils say they feel safe in school. Because leaders aspire for pupils to be successful, expectations around behaviour are high. Leaders and staff get to know everyone really well. They find out what is important to each individual. This results in pupils receiving effective support that helps them to become increasingly independent in their ability to regulate their own behaviour. Older pupils thoughtfully reflect that everyone here is different in their own way. There is a shared understanding that sometimes people need different approaches or support to be successful in school. Pupils’ attitudes represent the school values. As one pupil commented, ‘Everyone is included here.’ Leaders are ambitious for every pupil to leave school confident and able to make a positive contribution to the world. As far as possible, teachers link learning to real-life situations. Where pupils require a more personalised approach, this is provided for them. Pupils respond to this by engaging well in learning.
