Argyll House provides a calm and safe environment for pupils. Pupils who attend the school have often had negative experiences of education. Staff take time to build trusting relationships with pupils. This helps to rebuild pupils’ resilience and to start learning successfully again. Pupils behave well. They are respectful to each other, staff and visitors. Pupils settle quickly because routines and expectations are clear. Incidents of poor behaviour, including bullying, are rare. Pupils are confident that any adult would listen to them if they had any concerns. Pupils know that leaders have high expectations of what they can achieve. They work hard in lessons. Pupils understand it is important to do well to prepare them for their next stages of education. Pupils are ambitious for their future and the careers that they may pursue. Each morning, pupils reflect on their personal skills and learning. Pupils build their confidence by expressing their thoughts and opinions. This means that they start the day with positive attitudes to learning. Parents who spoke to inspectors were full of praise for the school. They are happy that their children are successfully engaging in education.
