School Description

The school has been transformed since the last inspection. Pupils and staff said there has been a tangible change in culture across all areas of school life. Pupils feel safe and happy here. They are proud of their school. The school has ambitious expectations for behaviour and achievement, and pupils endeavour to meet these expectations. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), follow a broad and ambitious curriculum. They benefit from the positive changes the school has made to the quality of education it provides. As a result of these improvements, pupils are achieving increasingly well across a range of subjects. Pupils’ behaviour in the school is calm and focused. They learn the importance of making positive choices in their behaviour and learning. This is reflected in pupils’ positive conduct. If pupils fall short of the schools’ expectations, staff follow a rigorous and consistent approach to address any incidents of misbehaviour effectively. Pupils enjoy a range of extra-curricular activities. Pupils are keen to represent the school in sporting events. They enthusiastically take on an increasing number of leadership responsibilities such as reading buddies and pupil librarians.
