Pupils are happy here. Staff take time to understand pupils’ complex social, emotional and mental health needs. They use this knowledge effectively to build strong relationships with pupils. Leaders have introduced a new curriculum and have high expectations of pupils. For some pupils, this is the first time that they have enjoyed learning and made progress. Bullying does happen sometimes, but pupils say they know who to talk with to help them sort things out. When behaviour incidents happen, they are dealt with quickly and effectively. Pupils feel safe and are kept safe. Parents and carers are happy with their child’s progress and like the way the curriculum is adapted to suit pupils’ needs. Many parents used words such as ‘fabulous’ and ‘amazing’ to describe the support their child receives. They value the commitment of leaders and staff in helping their child to succeed. Staff enjoy working at the school and appreciate the support they receive from leaders. Staff work well together. There is a strong sense of community, centred on the learning and well-being of pupils.
