Warmth and happiness are in abundance, and pupils benefit enormously from the kind, compassionate and highly skilled staff. Pupils have complex care needs, and many do not communicate verbally. Nevertheless, whatever their ability, adults help them to achieve highly, doing what is right for each individual pupil. Consequently, pupils love their time in school and behave extremely well. Whether in large leaps or manageable steps every pupil’s learning is celebrated and recognised.’
