The academy's core values 'developing resilient, safe and respectful learners' shines through. 'My child receives kindness, compassion and support' and 'develops extended life skills' are comments from parents that exemplify what it is like to be a pupil attending Tregonwell. Staff create a calm and productive atmosphere. Pupils get the care, support and guidance they need to overcome their challenges. Staff have high expectations of all pupils and, as a result, pupils achieve extremely well. Leaders expect pupils to behave exceptionally well. Therapeutic provision is integral to the work of the academy. This gives pupils the strategies to manage their anxious behaviours superbly well. Pupils are happy. They enjoy warm and trusting relationships with staff, and at times of heightened anxiety, pupils know that staff will support them. This helps them to feel safe. Pupils relish the range of wider opportunities afforded to them. These help to develop skills and interests in areas, such as art, music and technology. All pupils have access to these activities. Pupils develop high levels of independence, which makes them well prepared for the future.
