The school is a haven of calm at the heart of its local community. Leaders have created a friendly and welcoming place for pupils to live out the school’s ethos. Pupils feel safe and are highly positive about their experiences. They enjoy working with their teachers, learning new things and they achieve well. Pupils actively care for each other and work together well in lessons. They contribute greatly to making the school a unique place to learn. Wider opportunities for pupils in the school and beyond are plentiful. This includes a variety of lunchtime and after-school clubs, as well as representing the school in a range of sporting activities. Pupils enjoy taking up leadership roles, such as house captain or being part of the school council. Many of them contribute in meaningful and active ways to the life of the school and wider community. The school has high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Pupils know what is expected of them. They are given opportunities to learn this and how to have positive relationships with others. Pupils are mature and courteous, including when moving around the school and at breaktime. Pupils learn the expected routines well from the start of their time at Guardian Angels. They talk politely to each other and play well together.
