Pupils thrive as part of a caring community. High expectations support pupils to do their best. They study an ambitious curriculum that ensures they achieve well. Pupils take responsibility for their own learning by working independently to complete tasks. Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils enjoy learning. As a result, incidents of low-level disruption are extremely rare. Pupils have many opportunities to develop their leadership skills and influence school decisions. For example, the worship, eco and learning councils meet frequently to improve life in school. Older pupils are reading buddies for younger pupils. Pupils meet regularly with people from the local community. These include the parish council, armed forces and the local Member of Parliament.
