Pupils benefit from clear routines and are motivated to work hard. They are kind to each other and know the characteristics of being a good friend. Pupils have no concerns about bullying.

Pupils learn how to look after themselves during their forest school sessions. These include the popular activity of toasting marshmallows in the fire pit. Pupils enjoy opportunities to lead initiatives across the school. For example, the eco-committee helps to keep the site litter free and raise environmental issues across the school community. Members of the committee are extremely proud of their recent award. Leaders are determined to embed this new school in the community. Pupils enjoy meeting visitors from the neighbourhood, such as the fire service and church. Leaders have established strong links with a local sixth-form college. This relationship has resulted in pupils having the opportunity to experience exciting music and drama workshops.
