School Description

This is a happy place where pupils flourish. Lots has been achieved in the relatively short period of time since the school opened. Leaders are passionate, nurturing and highly effective. They lead by example and empower their staff, who have energy and are enthusiastic about their work. Consequently, pupils demonstrate a strong sense of belonging and respond positively to the high demands made on them. Classrooms are purposeful places where humour is not uncommon. This includes in the sixth form, where students show growing confidence in themselves. They also contribute well to developing younger pupils’ self-esteem and well-being. This collaborative work is often facilitated by staff. However, it is clear to see that the pupils themselves have already bought into making the school a great place to be. Pupils mostly behave exceptionally well because they know where the boundaries are. This includes when they are out of school. A local parish leader described the school as a bright light in the local community to the inspector. Evidence collected throughout the inspection confirmed this positivity from other sources. These included parents, staff and professionals from outside the school, but most importantly, the evidence of this positivity comes from the pupils themselves.
