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.”
