The school has embraced the Diocese of Leeds’s, ‘Virtues to Live By’ programme. Pupils explore themes such as respect, courtesy and thankfulness. Adults live out these virtues in their relationships with pupils and each other. Pupils follow their example and treat each other with kindness and respect. The vast majority of pupils behave well most of the time. When they struggle to manage their emotions, adults help them to get back on track. Leaders have created an inclusive culture that helps pupils to feel happy and safe. The recently established leadership team has begun to build an ambitious curriculum for pupils. Many subjects are in the early stages of development. Too often, the knowledge that pupils learn does not help them to build on the facts that they already know. Pupils do not learn well enough across some areas of the curriculum. The school makes sure that pupils have opportunities to explore their interests and talents. Many pupils take part in the wide variety of clubs on offer. Some pupils work as ‘Stewards of the Earth’ as part of the school’s focus on global citizenship. These opportunities are helping to prepare pupils well for their future lives.
