Leaders have the highest ambition for the pupils at Springhead School. Pupils have a wide range of special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) when they join the school. Leaders have created a space for all pupils to find their voice, be heard, and be safe. Pupils are happy at the school. They are proud of their achievements and delight in sharing in their successes. Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. Sometimes, they need help to manage their emotions. Staff support for this is subtle and nimble. This means that learning is not interrupted. As pupils progress through the school, they develop greater independence and selfregulation. The school environment is calm and purposeful. Laughter and music can be heard through the corridors. Pupils understand bullying and do not think bullying happens at the school. They do understand that people sometimes disagree. If pupils have concerns about something, they know staff will listen to them and help them. This is true for all pupils. Staff ensure that they constantly communicate with pupils, especially those with profound and complex needs. All pupils are treated with respect and dignity and they, in turn, show this to staff and visitors.
