Supporting care experienced and recently adopted pupils
The school’s work to support vulnerable pupils is exceptional. Leaders have a deep understanding of the impact of trauma and take a compassionate approach to supporting pupils with complex needs. They develop valuable working relationships with external agencies to support those who experience anxiety or behavioural challenges. An insightful and strategic focus on provision for care experienced and recently adopted pupils, their families and carers, enables the school to engage pupils in their learning while prioritising their safety and well-being. This is a school where staff and governors build a curriculum around vulnerable pupils that supports them to heal and learn at the same time.
