This is a friendly and welcoming school where pupils are safe and happy. They value the positive relationships that they have with staff, who care for them well. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They relish the strong friendships that they make. This helps pupils to feel a sense of belonging. Pupils live up to the high expectations that the school has of their behaviour and conduct. They display positive attitudes towards their learning. Pupils are extremely polite, well mannered and respectful towards each other and visitors to school. The school has high ambitions for pupils’ academic success. However, the school’s expectations for pupils’ achievement are not entirely realised. Weaknesses in the design and delivery of the curriculum in some subjects, and the early years, have not been addressed. This limits how well some pupils progress through the curriculum and achieve. Coupled with this, there is a lack of oversight of the quality of education by the proprietor and the school. Pupils reflect regularly on their actions, feelings and behaviours. The school helps them know the importance of genuine respect, care and kindness towards others. However, the school has not ensured that this is supported by a clear understanding and knowledge of other cultures and faiths.
