School Description

This school exemplifies its values through the actions of both pupils and staff. They foster a deep respect for one another and for the school environment. Pupils understand the school's high expectations of their behaviour, and the vast majority meet these standards. From the moment they join the Reception class, children learn the importance of listening carefully and following instructions. The school provides a broad curriculum while also teaching pupils about their faith. Some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) attend the school’s ‘Centre for Exceptional Children'. Here they receive effective support to aid their learning. In all classes, pupils enjoy their lessons. They are motivated to succeed and work diligently. Most pupils perform well in external tests and examinations. Pupils are happy and attend school regularly. They engage in various activities that help them develop valuable personal skills. Some take pride in their positions as school monitors. They appreciate their role in maintaining the smooth operation of school life. Older pupils value the quality of the careers guidance they receive. This guidance motivates them to have ambitious future aspirations and provides them with clear steps to achieve their goals.
