School Description

The school is a welcoming and inclusive environment, where ‘excellence is a habit’. It exudes a strong sense of community. Relationships between staff and pupils are based on mutual respect. Pupils know that staff want them to be the ‘best they can be’. They rise to these high expectations. Pupils feel safe and have trusted adults who help them if they are experiencing difficulties. Most pupils talk positively about the quality of education they enjoy and the experiences they gain as part of school life. Classrooms are calm and purposeful places conducive to successful learning. Pupils listen carefully to staff and approach their work diligently. Consequently, they learn well. The school’s values of ‘strength, pride and unity’ underpin all aspects of daily life. Pupils relish the wider opportunities that are available. They are proud to hold a range of leadership roles, such as ‘fleet admiral’, ‘warrant officer’ or as members of the pupil parliament. ‘Community lunch’ provides pupils with a platform to debate and discuss current affairs. The school’s ‘horizons programme’ provides an array of interesting opportunities for pupils to develop their interests and talents. For instance, pupils learn embroidery, boxing, cooking, gardening, Japanese and multi-sports. As one pupil said, ‘There is something for everyone.’
