Highlights
- "Pupils love coming to this school, and their attendance is high. They say that it is a very good place to be, because they know that staff care for them and want them to be ‘safe, loved and happy’. If ever they feel worried, they can sit on the ‘safe chairs’, where they know staff will help them. They explain to visitors how everybody is kind and gets on well together. There are, they say, ‘no outsiders – everyone’s welcome!’ Lunchtimes and breaktimes are happy times, when pupils enjoy the big outdoor spaces to play games and chat. Children feel secure from the Reception Year onwards. This is because highly trained staff show them how lessons work at Falconer’s Hill, and how everyone must behave.”
- All staff at this school work closely together to make sure that every pupil can flourish. The school’s well-planned curriculum, and its consistently effective delivery, ensure that pupils leave ready for their next school. The education and care provided meets the needs of all pupils. This includes those who are disadvantaged and/or vulnerable.
- Across subjects, the education pupils receive is good. A particular strength is how well lessons are adapted for those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These pupils receive precisely planned provision that meets their needs. The school’s work has resulted in it being one of the very few in England to receive the Global Inclusion Award.
