Pupils appreciate the school’s kind and nurturing culture. They know leaders and school staff care deeply about their well-being. The school provides many ways for pupils to communicate their feelings and share any worries that may arise. It provides pupils with compassionate help and support if they need it. Pupils are happy and safe in school. Pupils behave with great maturity. They look after each other well. When pupils join the school in Year 7, they become part of the ‘big sister little sister’ programme. This arrangement ensures that Year 7 pupils have a sixth-form student friend and role model to help them settle in. The school is equally ambitious for pupils’ academic achievement and personal development. It encourages pupils to be confident and speak up for themselves. Pupils share feedback and make decisions on what they want. These include advising on courses to be incorporated in the sixth-form provision and sharing their wishes for celebratory events. The school is not meeting its statutory obligations to ensure the independent school standards (the standards) are met securely. This is because it has chosen to omit some essential information from the curriculum. This means pupils do not receive curriculum content in line with the law.
