Despite a period of turbulence when it first opened, this school has been on an exciting journey in recent times. Newly appointed leaders have worked hard to create a warm and welcoming school. They have made significant improvements. Pupils say they have ‘revolutionised the school and want the best for us.’ The school has high expectations for its pupils. However, these high expectations are yet to be fully realised. Pupils generally behave well in lessons and around school. Most relationships between them reflect the school’s values of courage and compassion. Pupils say behaviour is improving and bullying is dealt with effectively. They value the support and guidance the school provides. Pupils are safe and feel safe. They have trusted adults in school, who they can talk to if ever they have any concerns. The school promotes equality and diversity well. Pupils say they enjoy the personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education programme. Pupils are able to articulate well the protected characteristics and what it means to be in a diverse school. In terms of their wider development, pupils relish choosing from a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including the Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme and pupil leadership roles. They also have access to high-quality support for their future career.
