Leaders and staff have created a welcoming and safe environment in the school. The school motto ‘may Christ be seen in us’ prevails through the life of the school. There is a strong sense of fairness and equality. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities so that they are prepared for the world beyond their school. Pupils show mutual kindness, genuine care and respect for each other. They say the best thing about their school is the people in it. The school has high expectations for what pupils can achieve. The school’s ambitious curriculum reflects these high expectations. Pupils work hard in lessons and achieve well. This is a calm and orderly school. Pupils’ behaviour is exceptional. From an early age, pupils take responsibility for their own behaviour. This contributes to the positive culture in which pupils work and play. The school provides a range of opportunities for pupils beyond the curriculum. Pupils enjoy school. They take part in a variety of clubs such as sport, chess and debating. They also contribute to the school and community through raising money for charity and supporting the local food bank.
