Pupils are proud to be part of this caring school community. They take pride in the school motto by ‘learning together in faith – always aiming for the best’. Pupils know and model the school’s values. These include showing respect to others and working together. The weekly celebration assembly is a time revered by the school community as everyone celebrates pupils’ academic and pastoral successes. One pupil summed up the school’s ethos, saying, ‘Whichever year you are in, you always get pushed to be your best.’ Pupils thrive in a calm, positive environment. They make a valuable contribution to the school by taking on roles such as those of school councillor and eco-councillor. Pupils have positive attitudes towards their learning. Pupils respond well to the ‘learning journeys’ that they say make their learning memorable. For example, pupils arrived one morning to find the field transformed with sports activities to begin the ‘healthy bodies, healthy minds’ whole-school learning journey. Pupils behave well in the dining hall and out on the vast, well-equipped play spaces. Almost every pupil has participated in a school club, which cover a range of cultural, sporting and creative activities.
