Now that all staff members report that they feel more confident to support student resilience and their achievements, this has meant that students experience more consistent and holistic support, and in turn, their resilience skills have developed, which has been demonstrated in their resilience scores.

Students are actively encouraged to participate in activities that develop their resilience and they report how this has helped them experience new challenges and widen their interests. The care and support that all students receive enables them to feel more confident in branching out, backed up by staff members who care deeply about them and their development. Students report how they have enjoyed their new experiences and how this has helped make a positive impact on their lives.

The school has reported fewer students refusing to attend lessons alongside an increase in students independently asking for support – two changes that have been made possible by the consistency demonstrated by staff members in promoting a growth mindset. Students have been supported to plan trips and extracurricular activities themselves, taking ownership of their education and attend their meetings with external agencies. They report that they are proud of themselves and that they know how to make further progress. Parental support has increased in frequency and now aligns with the approaches taken in the classroom.

Following teaching and learning sessions about relationships, some students were able to report that they needed support, as they recognised the signs after having been taught them in PSHE lessons. Students report that they have grown in confidence and self-esteem, and staff report how they can see easily how students now perceive themselves in a more positive and self-aware way, using more emotionally-literate language.
