Staff at this school wholly understand and embody the school's motto: 'achievement has no boundaries'. They leave no stone unturned to ensure that every pupil, no matter how complex their needs, makes as much progress as they can. Staff know the needs of their pupils in real detail. They design the curriculum to precisely meet these needs. As a result, pupils make exceptional progress from their starting points. Pupils relish attending school. Staff work tenaciously to ensure pupils communicate their choices, needs and feelings clearly. This gives pupils a genuine voice in their provision. Consequently, pupils trust staff fully and engage enthusiastically in the stimulating activities provided for them. Pupils learn about the diverse world around them. They learn about religious festivals. Pupils visit a local museum to learn about the history of migration. The school works with prestigious cultural providers to introduce pupils to opera and ballet. The school is ambitious about what pupils can achieve in their lives beyond school.
