They are rightly proud of the school. They value the respectful relationships that they have with staff and each other. High expectations of behaviour are set and are consistently met. Pupils are excellently supported to manage their emotions and conduct. Pupils' attitudes and behaviours improve significantly during their time at school. Staff continually supervise pupils and help them get along. Relationships are calm and purposeful. Pupils are supported to be ready to engage with learning. Therapy is integral to pupils' learning. The school provides therapy sessions that are carefully tailored to meet pupils' needs. Pupils are appropriately challenged in their learning. They learn well. The school develops pupils' interests and talents, including for example, through creative arts and musical performances. Pupils contribute positively to school life and support one another. Parents and carers have very positive views about the school. A parent, echoing the views of many, commented: 'The staff care about their pupils and give them support to achieve their potential. My child was struggling in mainstream education. She is now doing well and making progress.'

What the school should improve

• Pupils do not have ample opportunities to learn about different faiths and beliefs. As a result, they do not gain the knowledge and understanding that they should about different beliefs. The school should ensure that pupils have sufficient opportunities to learn about different faiths and beliefs, thus broadening their knowledge, deepening their understanding and nurturing tolerance of and respect for those who hold beliefs that may be different to their own.
