Pupils are proud of their efforts to make their school and its community a better place. Pupils learn to be active citizens who make a positive contribution. For example, they care for the school grounds and collect food for the local food bank as eco-councillors and ‘chaplaincy team’ representatives. Pupils display the school’s values through their actions. They are kind, thoughtful and respectful towards each other. The school, through its revised curriculum, has raised expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are appropriately supported to achieve well in most subjects. Nevertheless, pupils do not learn as effectively in some subjects. The school rightly recognises there is more to do to ensure pupils attain the best outcomes across the curriculum. The school’s personal development provision for pupils is well thought out. Pupils benefit from pastoral support such as the ‘military Monday club’. Pupils feel safe and well supported. They trust staff to help them when needed. Pupils learn to understand and appreciate difference. Bullying is rare as pupils know how to be a good friend. Pupils are well behaved and enjoy active playtimes together. Pupils recommend the school as a place where you will have lots of friends.
