Pupils describe their school as a family. They said that they feel safe and can talk to any adult if they have concerns. Pupils are happy, and they are enthusiastic about their learning. When they join the school, they settle in quickly. Pupils of different ages socialise well with one another. Older pupils look out for younger ones. Bullying rarely happens, and any potential issues are addressed swiftly. Leaders have high expectations of pupils. They make sure that pupils study a broad range of subjects in addition to Islamic studies. Pupils enjoy the subjects on offer, including the range of additional subjects in their life skills course, for example textiles and food technology. Leaders plan the curriculum so that pupils experience educational outings to enhance their understanding of the topics that they are learning. For example, pupils visit Kew Gardens as part of their learning for science and art. Pupils achieve well in their learning. Pupils’ behaviour is excellent. They are keen to demonstrate the school values, ‘The Big 5’, in all that they do. For example, they are respectful to one another, and they work well with each other in teams. Pupils are keen to earn merits to become ‘star of the week’ as well as gaining points for their house.
