They are kind to one another. There is a real sense of community. Pupils are safe and well looked after. They know that there are staff in school who they can talk to if they are worried about something. Pupils usually behave very well. There are few reported incidents of bullying. When it does happen, staff deal with it straight away. Pupils are superb ambassadors for their school. They speak with pride about what the school offers them and what they accomplish.
