Pupils show good conduct and respectful attitudes towards adults and other pupils. Pupils learn a great deal through the school’s interesting curriculum. They focus and concentrate in lessons, contributing towards discussions. They are keen to answer questions. Pupils develop leadership skills through being school councillors. They engage in school improvement projects, such as recycling and tree planting. This gives them a taste of democracy in action. The curriculum is enhanced through several visits and visitors.
