This school has an ambitious outlook on learning. Its leaders set high standards for everyone. In return, staff and pupils respond well, enjoy school life and do their best. Everyone works together very well to make the school a happy and successful place in which to work and learn. Pupils’ attainment is usually above average in English and mathematics, and they achieve well across a broad range of subjects. In addition to lessons, there are lots of interesting clubs and activities, ranging from rowing to woodwork. Pupils can gain awards for achievements and commitment to these extra-curricular activities, which are presented at a ‘mini-university’. Behaviour is managed very well so that all feel safe and classes run smoothly. Pupils who find it hard to settle in school are given lots of help in many ways. Staff work closely with different organisations who provide extra support, and they keep parents involved and informed. Bullying is not accepted. The school’s golden values of respect, resilience, reliability and responsibility underpin school life. Staff are proud to be part of this school. They stay up to date with training and say that leaders are always on hand to offer support and advice.
