School Description

Pupils are proud of their school. They compare their experiences here favourably to those they have had in the schools they attended in the past. Students in the sixth form enjoy the unique environment provided by the surroundings and accommodation they presently occupy, although happily shared that the Farmhouse site also has its benefits. Students are quietly ambitious because staff expect a lot from them. Aspirations are also high for younger pupils at the main school because staff look for the potential in every pupil and work tirelessly to unlock it. Pupils behave well here, although some do not attend as often as they should, despite the ongoing efforts of leaders and staff. Pupils report that when they feel anxious and have problems, staff listen and are fair and forgiving. Pupils say that they feel free from bullying and that they feel safe here, but ‘not enclosed’. Pupils like the breaks they get between lessons. They like cooking and their lunchtimes. They enjoy the fact the school is small, and that staff can be trusted to do what they say they will, and not ‘just go off and do nothing’.
