There is a determination among leadership that all pupils at this school study the broad and ambitious curriculum they have designed. Behaviour in lessons, around school and at social times is very good. Pupils enjoy the praise they receive from adults when they follow school routines or try hard in lessons. Pupils respect each other and understand how to keep themselves safe online and in the real world. Bullying is rare here. All pupils that inspectors spoke with were confident that adults would deal with bullying if it happened. Older pupils act as play leaders and help younger children at play times.
