Strengths

• “Pupils who come to Horizon are re-engaged in education and learn how to behave in the classroom.”
• “Most pupils successfully return to mainstream schools after their time in the school.”
• “They benefit from comprehensive liaison with their schools, supporting staff to know how to help them behave.”

To improve

• “The curriculum includes other subjects, such as science, but the way that pupils learn about different cultures or ways of life is not as well planned out.”
• “Pupils on the secondary site currently have limited access to physical education due to site limitations.”
• “There are a very small number of pupils who still struggle to control their behaviour.”

Safeguarding: Effective
