Pupils flourish at this school. Most pupils join in Year 11 because they have had problems with their behaviour in their previous schools. They settle in quickly and soon begin to meet leaders’ very high expectations. Pupils are incredibly positive about behaviour in the school. They say that leaders respect them. In turn, pupils show this respect to adults and to their peers. Just as importantly, pupils begin to respect themselves. Pupils say that, because they value their peers, bullying does not happen in the school. They are confident that leaders will listen to any concerns they may have. Pupils benefit from an extensive range of activities, trips and visits. Visiting speakers teach them about relationships and sex education (RSE), online safety and keeping safe. This supports their personal, social and health education (PSHE). Pupils go on visits to support the curriculum, to widen their experiences and to learn about career opportunities. For example, pupils spoke very highly about their recent visit to the National Justice Museum where they learned about the history of the criminal justice system. Pupils value the education they receive at the school. They are determined to do their best and achieve well. Leaders make sure that pupils realise this ambition.
