Pupils arrive each morning excited and enthusiastic to get their day started. The atmosphere in classrooms and around corridors is energetic and positive. Pupils are happy to be in school because they have adults who look after and support them exceptionally well. They feel valued as individual members of the school. Adults place the needs of the child at the heart of all they do. They are aspirational for pupils in school. In lots of ways, these aspirations are fully realised. From their individual starting points, pupils achieve well. Pupils’ behaviour, including students in the sixth form, is commendable. Pupils engage enthusiastically in their learning. Highly skilled staff support pupils’ behaviour when needed. In many cases, staff support pupils to manage their own behaviour, helping them to develop the skills needed for later life. The school is exceptionally successful in doing so. Provision for pupils’ wider development is remarkable. The school takes every opportunity to provide pupils with a vast range of experiences. These include sporting, arts, music and drama opportunities that develop pupils’ interests and talents. In addition, opportunities for older pupils to develop confidence and social skills, such as the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, are well considered.
