Pupils thrive at this happy and welcoming school. They enjoy highly positive and warm relationships with each other and with staff. They benefit greatly from the strong pastoral care that they receive to guide and nurture them should they need additional help and support. Pupils behave with unwaveringly high levels of respect for each other and adults. They are exceptionally polite, courteous and thoughtful. They are fully involved in the life of the school and community and embrace their roles as ambassadors for the school with pride. For example, older students deliver aspirational assemblies and younger pupils listen intently and considerately to these. Pupils also visit a local hospice and homeless shelter. They fundraise to support these and other charities in the community. Pupils appreciate that people may have different views and beliefs from their own. Diversity is valued and pupils treat people from other faiths and backgrounds with respect and tolerance. The school is extremely ambitious for its pupils. It has high expectations for pupils’ achievement. These are fully realised. Pupils are highly committed to their education. They are determined and driven to be successful in their lives in school and beyond. Most pupils achieve well.
