Pupils study a secular curriculum that is too limited. Teaching is driven by preparation for examinations. In some subjects, lessons are taught by staff who do not have the required knowledge and expertise. Subjects such as music and physical education are extremely new to pupils. In some subjects, staff do not have sufficient resources to help pupils learn. Pupils speak with pride about their school. They especially like the close-knit nature of the small community, which they describe as a family. There are high expectations of pupils. They behave and attend well. Pupils enjoy their learning, and like to use their own laptops in class. Pupils spoke positively about the educational visits on offer, such as the annual residential trip to Snowdonia. They feel safe in school and said that staff are quick to deal with any incidents of bullying. One parent described the school as a ‘cut above the rest’. This sums up parents’ extremely positive views about the care and education provided.
