Leaders have high expectations for how well pupils behave and how considerate they are to others. They make sure that pupils are taught how to show kindness in words and deeds. Additional experiences, such as visits to interesting places, enable pupils to learn about the world beyond school. Pupils feel that the staff know them as individuals. They enjoy the subjects they study. They are keen to learn and want to succeed. However, leaders’ expectations of what pupils can do and achieve in some subjects are not high enough.
