School Description

Pupils relish their time at this dynamic school. They spoke proudly of the ‘Holy Spirit way’ and of how important it is to show respect and to always try their best. Pupils develop strong relationships with staff. They know that the adults in school care about their emotional health and physical safety. Pupils respond well to the school’s high expectations for their behaviour. Reception-aged children act as positive role models to children in the Nursery Year. Children in the early years learn cooperatively alongside one another. Older pupils build on this positive start. Their conduct helps to make the school a happy place in which to learn and play. The school is ambitious for what pupils can achieve. It carefully considers the academic and personal needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are eager to learn and are attentive in lessons. Ongoing improvements to the curriculum mean that current pupils achieve well across a broad range of subjects. Pupils benefit from a wealth of experiences to develop their character and resilience. For example, older pupils recalled their recent residential trip with enthusiasm. They spoke of overcoming their fears through taking part in an array of outdoor and adventurous activities.
