School Description

Leaders expect nothing but the best from pupils. They live up to these expectations and develop wide ranging knowledge, skills, and experiences. Pupils love coming to school and learn extremely well. Pupils celebrate differences between themselves and others. They know that everyone is different but, no matter what their beliefs, religion or background, they treat each other as individuals. Throughout the school, pupils behave extremely well. They are polite and are kind to one another. Pupils with additional responsibilities delight in carrying out these tasks. The librarians, school council and prefects are rightly proud of their roles. These opportunities support pupils to grow into active citizens. Pupils enjoy a wide range of clubs, such as photography, choir and gardening. Trips and visits are planned carefully to make sure they further enhance pupils’ quality of education. Bullying is rare. If it happens, pupils know they can rely on adults to help put a stop to it quickly and keep them safe. From a young age, children develop independence. As they grow older, their self-control and motivation to learn is such that adults trust them to work with increasing independence.
