Leaders and staff have great ambitions for all pupils to achieve high academic standards. Leaders also want pupils to develop strong values and strong character traits. As a result, pupils attain good academic qualifications. They also develop into self-confident and articulate young adults. Pupils told us that they enjoy coming to school. They value the strong sense of community and get on extremely well with each other. Their behaviour is excellent, and they work with determination to succeed. Pupils, parents and carers, and staff believe that bullying hardly ever occurs. This is because staff and pupils do not tolerate it. It runs contrary to the school’s ethos. Pupils said that should it ever occur staff would deal with it straight away. Pupils cherish learning about people of different faiths, cultures and lifestyles. Teachers encourage pupils to debate a range of moral issues and to keep up to date with current affairs. Pupils express their opinions with conviction. They listen to and respect those with different views from their own. The school prepares pupils well for the next stages of their lives in modern Britain.
