School Description

Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are kind and get on well with each other. Pupils like the outdoor gym area, hydrotherapy pool and lunches. Many pupils have complex special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They receive high-quality support from staff so they can access a range of opportunities designed to meet their needs. Staff have high expectations of what pupils can do and achieve. Staff make sure that pupils are kept safe. At morning drop-off time, a one-way system has been designed to help taxis navigate through the building works. Every pupil is warmly greeted by at least one member of staff. Staff understand pupils’ needs in detail, as a result, pupils receive personalised care and support. Pupils are friendly and polite. Classrooms are calm, well organised and purposeful. Pupils can learn without disruption from others. High staff-to-pupil ratios mean that support is available to help pupils manage their behaviours and emotions. Pupils are tolerant and respectful of each other. In lessons, they take turns, listen to others and respond positively to teachers. Pupils use a range of communication systems so they can use their voice and be included in all aspects of school life.
