What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 March 2025
Pupils flourish at this school because of the caring and nurturing relationships that staff build with them. The school has very high aspirations for pupils' learning and development. Pupils make strong progress both academically and personally. Pupils learn how to manage their emotions and improve their behaviour over time. Pupils enjoy a variety of therapies, including walks to the school's large outdoor area, visiting the local park and practising yoga. These help pupils to learn a sense of calm and feel more settled. Most pupils demonstrate exceptional behaviour. Pupils profit from a wealth of activities that boost their confidence, self-esteem and independence. These include regular residential experiences, such as to the Lake District. Pupils take pride in representing the school in sports competitions. They are able to develop self-expression and creativity through the music workshop, drama club and performing in school plays. Pupils are exceptionally well prepared for adulthood. Older pupils take turns making and serving sandwiches at lunch in the school café. This helps them to develop communication skills and a strong sense of belonging. Pupils' opinions matter and they have a voice in the school. For example, school councillors help to make decisions about reading books purchased for the library and equipment for the playground.
