Everyone is made to feel welcome at this school. Leaders want the best outcomes for all pupils. Staff work hard to build positive relationships with pupils and to help them feel welcome within the school community. Pupils speak positively about the support and guidance that staff provide. This helps them to overcome barriers to learning. As a result, most pupils have a positive school experience. The school has established clear expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils understand the systems in place. They know how to access support when they need it or to speak to a trusted adult if they have any worries. Typically, the school is calm and orderly. Generally, pupils behave well. Any relationship breakdowns are supported well by both the compassionate schools and the ‘family footings’ team. Leaders cater for pupils’ personal development particularly well. Pupils have access to many opportunities. These include sports, mindfulness, arts, coding, drumming sessions and outdoor activities such as forest school. Pupils benefit from trips and visits to, for example, museums and theatres. These experiences enhance their understanding of the curriculum. Pupils enjoy taking part in leadership responsibilities, including being student councillors or being part of the LGBTQ group. All of this helps pupils to play an active role in school life.
