School Description

Pupils’ experience of school has been transformed since the last inspection. Pupils and staff value highly the positive shift in culture that has been fostered across all areas of school life. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe. Pupils enjoy coming to school. The school’s curriculum is highly ambitious for all pupils. There are high expectations for what pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve. Pupils work hard and show committed attitudes to their learning. They are keen to succeed. Pupils achieve well, including in national examinations. The school has high expectations for pupils’ behaviour that are consistently taught, reinforced, and embedded in school routines. Everyone in the school appreciates this consistent approach to behaviour. Pupils understand what is expected of them. They behave well in lessons and at social times. This has helped to create a respectful and cohesive learning community. Pupils say that this is a school where everyone’s differences are accepted and everyone is equal. They celebrate diversity and learn about different faiths, cultures and perspectives. For example, pupils spoke with relish about ‘culture week’. Such activities contribute well to the respectful values upheld in the school.
