The report also commented that the school is successful in getting the pupils back on the right track and in addressing their severe emotional and behavioural difficulties. As a result, their behaviour is good, as is their personal development. Elsewhere the report acknowledges the school is successful in opening doors for pupils so they are ready to learn and that the school and residence work extremely well together to support the emotional needs of pupils. The report goes on to note that much work has gone into developing the curriculum by the expanded and strengthened senior leadership team which has a clear view of the strengths of the school, what needs developing and a good plan is in place to improve provision further.
