This is a friendly and welcoming school. Pupils are encouraged to support and help each other. Older pupils often encourage younger ones to make healthy choices and keep themselves safe. For example, pupils in Year 10 recently created and led a workshop for pupils in Year 9 about the dangers of vaping. Pupils treat each other with care and consideration. Pupils are happy and safe here. Personal development and academic success are equally prioritised. Pupils achieve very well by the time they leave the school. The school encourages pupils to take an active role in supporting the community. Recently, pupils in Year 1 led a campaign to collect donations for a local foodbank. Pupils have worked with the police on a project to reduce speeding in the local area. Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. For example, pupils playing football at breaktime are highly aware and respectful of others sharing the space, to ensure that everyone is kept safe. In the secondary phase, pupils listen and support each other through school-organised ‘Girls supporting girls’ sessions. The school is highly ambitious for all pupils. Pupils who speak English as an additional language are well supported to develop their spoken and written English.
