Red Marsh School is a joyful and inspiring place to learn. Pupils thrive in this school where staff are passionate and encourage pupils to achieve their very best. The school has created a culture of aspiration. Pupils, who all have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), rise to meet the school’s high expectations. Pupils get the very best start to their education and achieve very well. They study an ambitious curriculum, which begins in the early years and continues to the sixth form. The school has implemented highly successful routines that help pupils to behave well and settle happily into school. For example, the day begins with appropriate sensory or physical activities which prepare pupils successfully for their learning. Pupils are welcoming and polite when talking to visitors. A variety of extra-curricular opportunities enable pupils to develop different interests and talents. For instance, pupils enjoy singing in the choir and they have recently performed to a large audience. Pupils are also proud to have performed a piece from a Shakespeare play to other schools. Managing the popular tuck shop helps older students to enhance their entrepreneurial skills. Older students also support younger pupils by helping to run the school’s popular book club.
