The school has high expectations for all pupils. It is working effectively to establish these aspirations through recent strengthening of the school’s curriculum and the accreditation routes available to pupils. Across the school, from the early years through to the sixth form, pupils’ futures are carefully considered. Students in the sixth form study towards qualifications, awards and accreditations. These prepare them well for adulthood and their next steps in education or employment. Staff build positive working relationships with pupils. They get to know pupils well. Pupils trust the adults they work with. As a result, behaviour across the school is mostly settled and calm. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe in school. The school provides a range of experiences to nurture and develop pupils’ interests and talents. This includes working with professional actors, musicians and dancers and visiting local theatre groups. Pupils participate in weekly enrichment visits to forest schools and adventure playgrounds. Pupils are encouraged to take care of themselves and be respectful of each other. Through a range of special days and assemblies pupils are encouraged to understand and respect other religions and cultures.
