Pupils thoroughly enjoy being part of this close-knit and nurturing school community. They benefit from the positive relationships that they have with other pupils and with staff, who care deeply for them. Pupils who are new to the school said that they felt welcome straight away and that they formed friendships remarkably quickly. The school is ambitious for pupils’ achievements, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils typically rise to these high expectations. They were eager to share their knowledge with inspectors and said that they enjoy learning new things each day. Most pupils achieve well across a range of subjects. Pupils are polite and respectful. They have mature attitudes about the many differences that exist between themselves and others. Pupils know that everybody is unique and important. The school provides a variety of enrichment experiences. Pupils have many opportunities to learn outdoors, such as when visiting the nearby beach or travelling to places further afield. This helps to enhance their learning across the curriculum. Pupils relish activities, such as cookery, sports and gardening clubs. Older pupils have recently started a local programme to ignite their creativity skills and to develop their understanding of social enterprise.
