‘More Than Ed is a small school with a big heart’, commented one pupil. Remarks such as this reflect the feelings of other pupils well. The school, set in parkland, is an oasis of calm for the pupils that attend. Staff know and understand pupils well and see no limits on how much they can achieve. They have high expectations of the pupils in their care. Learning takes place in a series of small classrooms. Often individual pupils work alone with a member of staff. This helps pupils to remain calm and to concentrate. As pupils grow more confident, some move to working in rooms with other pupils. Staff collect pupils each morning and take them home at the end of the school day. Learning starts in the car with discussions on current affairs as well as revisiting yesterday’s learning. This helps pupils to make the transition between home and school. This also enables staff to recognise how pupils are feeling at the start and end of the school day and helps them to plan learning. Pupils behave well at school. Kindness and consideration are key values in the school community. Incidents of bullying are rare in school. Pupils know who to talk to if poor behaviour occurs and staff take effective action when it is needed. This enables pupils to feel safe and supported.
