Pupils thrive at this inclusive and welcoming place. They usually arrive at Bramley Hill School after prolonged periods of disrupted schooling. Kind and caring staff have high expectations. They take time to get to know each pupil well. As a result, pupils feel valued and happy. They achieve well from their starting points. As pupils move through the school, their independence and resilience strengthen. Pupils take their responsibilities seriously. For example, they relish managing the tuck shop and volunteering at the local farm and the nearby pet grooming shop. Pupils are proud and thoughtful citizens. They host events to share their culinary talents with local residents and collect donations for the food bank. The ecochampions regularly organise litter picks to keep the neighbourhood tidy. Pupils are also preparing excitedly for the upcoming school talent show. However, a significant minority of pupils do not attend school regularly and miss out on the rich range of supportive opportunities on offer. Pupils feel safe in school and are well supported. They know who they can talk to if they have any concerns. Pupils say that there is some bullying and use of derogatory language. However, they trust that staff deal with any issues quickly.
