Provision for pupils’ emotional needs
A very positive aspect of the school’s work is its emotional literacy provision. A highly trained member of staff monitors the well-being of pupils across the school and provides high quality, responsive support when needed. Carefully planned and, at times, spontaneous sessions meet the individual needs of pupils effectively. This targeted support impacts very positively on individual pupils’ confidence and self-esteem. Staff work hard to secure additional grant funding to provide extra opportunities and resources to improve the well-being of vulnerable pupils. They develop the school environment to provide safe and quiet areas so that pupils have space and time to regulate their emotions and are ready to learn.
