Pupils enjoy attending this school. This is because they value the positive relationships they have with staff and each other. They enjoy the sense of unity that the school ethos promotes. One parent, typical of other parents and carers, stated, ‘The school has a warm and welcoming family atmosphere. My daughter has grown in her self-confidence since starting at the school.’ Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Pupils are eager to meet these expectations. They appreciate earning rewards and the recognition given to those who do well. Pupils believe in treating each other with respect. They look after each other. This means that any incidents of falling out or bullying are very rare. Pupils say that they feel safe in school and that staff treat them fairly and with kindness. They would speak to a trusted adult if they had any concerns. The school has high ambitions for pupils’ academic success in core subjects as well as in their Islamic studies. Pupils work hard and focus on achieving success in their examinations. There have been continued improvements made to the curriculum. However, there is not a broad and rich enough curriculum that enables all pupils or sixth-form students to succeed. There are still too few opportunities for pupils’ and students’ personal development.
