They make a strong contribution to the calm and respectful atmosphere that exists at the school. Pupils respond well to the high expectations that the school has for their achievement. They build up a portfolio of qualifications, which sets them up well for further study. Pupils benefit from a carefully considered induction programme. This ensures that they settle in quickly. The school helps pupils to succeed in areas where they may have struggled in the past. The school provides pupils with access to opportunities that help them to develop their talents and interests, for example football, golf, boxing, electronic sports and horse riding. Pupils are well prepared for adulthood. For instance, they learn to cook a range of healthy meals.

They volunteer at a local foodbank, act as buddy readers to children in local schools, deliver presents as part of a Christmas appeal and provide support to people who may have recently arrived from other parts of the world.
