The school has established an ambitious and aspirational culture. There are high expectations for every pupil to achieve well. The school’s ethos of ‘learners today, leaders tomorrow’ is shared by all school community members. It has constructed a broad, rich curriculum. This is largely well implemented, and pupils achieve expectations in most areas. This is because teachers have thought carefully about what needs to be taught and the order in which to teach it. A few areas of the curriculum are not as well developed. This means that new learning does not build on what pupils already know in these subjects. The curriculum provides opportunities for pupils to learn about other cultures and religions. Pupils also experience trips and visits to support their learning. They learn about future careers. However, a few pupils need more guidance around their future plans. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They say they feel safe because staff listen and care about them. They describe their school as, ‘One big family.’ Pupils behave well. They say that bullying is rare because teachers are quick to resolve any unkindness. For a few pupils, attendance is too low. This impacts on their achievement.
