New Perspectives School

New Perspectives School is performing well, achieving a good overall effectiveness in its first inspection. The school supports pupils with social, emotional, and mental health needs, creating an environment where they feel welcomed and valued. Many pupils arrive at the school facing challenges in their previous educational experiences, but they find belonging and show enthusiasm for learning once they start. With high expectations set by the staff, pupils achieve well and demonstrate pride in their work and achievements. The curriculum is ambitious and tailored to the unique needs of the pupils, integrating targets from their education, health, and care plans. While the school excels in providing a supportive atmosphere and personal development opportunities, it recognizes the need for improvement in foundational skills, especially in early reading and mathematics. The personal development programme requires refinement for a more coherent structure, ensuring that pupils progress in a planned manner through their learning experiences.
