Pupils are happy, safe and enjoy attending this school. They are polite and courteous to visitors and each other. Pupils from different year groups mix well. They like spending time together at break and lunchtimes. Older pupils are positive role models to those in younger classes. This contributes towards the school’s warm, caring and welcoming feel. Some pupils hold leadership responsibilities. They speak with pride about being ambassadors for the school. Pupils are proud to support their peers and the school in different ways, such as by being a monitor or prefect. As pupils progress through the school, they become increasingly aware of the needs of others. This includes through organising collections for charity and engaging in discussions about topical news events. The school is determined to provide a high-quality education for its pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, it has not yet fully realised this ambition. Pupils’ achievement in some subjects is below the standard achieved by pupils nationally. The school has taken the right steps to improve its curriculum. However, there remains work to do to ensure that pupils receive a high-quality education and achieve consistently well.
