Consilium Evolve

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 September 2023

Consilium Evolve is a life-changing school for many of the pupils who attend. The school educates pupils who may previously have missed large parts of their education, for a variety of reasons. The success achieved in helping pupils to feel positive about school and to attend regularly is exceptional. Many pupils develop independence, resilience and confidence rapidly. They talk about how the school has improved their lives. Many are ready to re-enter mainstream education with renewed positivity because of their attendance at Consilium Evolve. The school day is organised to strengthen relationships between pupils, for example through everyone eating together at lunchtime. Parents and pupils visit the school prior to attending. This gives leaders vital information, which allows for detailed, highly individualised plans to be put in place. This approach means that pupils enjoy school, for the first time in many cases. Behaviour is superb. The 'fit to learn' sessions every morning offer a variety of enriching activities from learning guitar to embroidery. Pupils and adults build strong, warm relationships in this informal context. Pupils have a chance to ready themselves for the day ahead. Consequently, any issues are dealt with quickly. Pupils are not worried about bullying because leaders ensure that every pupil feels valued.
