The school has extremely high aspirations for pupils. Through deliberately planned care and support it helps pupils to realise these. Pupils are well rounded and mature. Highly effective implementation of the curriculum helps pupils to become increasingly expert in the subjects that they study. Pupils significantly benefit from a thoughtfully designed personal development curriculum. Leaders are determined that pupils should experience a rich and diverse range of opportunities that enhance their education. The school seeks these out through partnerships with businesses and elsewhere in the community. Pupils link with organisations such as Leeds Rhinos and Northern Ballet to access opportunities they may not otherwise. Others pursue interests in other fields. For example, some pupils participate in the Model United Nations programme or leadership coaching delivered by leading businesses. Opportunities are targeted and timely to ensure that each pupil receives the support that they need. Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. The school, through its behaviour curriculum, teaches pupils about the importance of positive behaviours. It helps pupils to develop into respectful citizens who it hopes become role models in the local community. Pupils and staff greet each other warmly as they move quickly between lessons. Pupils understand why the school’s routines for behaviour exist. They recognise that these ensure that no learning opportunities are missed.
