Pupils benefit immensely from their time at Fell House School. Staff guide and support them to get back on track, with many having had a challenging time in the past. There are high expectations for pupils. For many, this is the first time they have felt settled in a school. Pupils have found a school where they are happy, can be themselves and achieve well. All pupils have special educational needs and/or disabilities. Staff, including therapists, use their expertise to understand what each pupil needs. Pupils are well supported to meet their individual targets. Everyone celebrates pupils’ successes. Staff spot the small steps that pupils take to reach their personal goals. Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. Staff are consistent in their expectations of pupils’ behaviour and in the way that they treat them. They skilfully support pupils to manage their emotions well. Pupils look out and are supportive of each other. They demonstrate highly positive attitudes to their learning. They are resilient to different challenges that they sometimes face. The school devises an exceptionally rich range of experiences for pupils outside of lessons. For example, pupils learn about how to keep themselves safe in different situations through the local ‘Amber Watch’ scheme. The school provides opportunities for pupils to develop their teamwork and practise life skills in a different context.
