The King’s Church of England School welcomes everyone. Staff go the extra mile to help pupils. They support those who are new to the school well so that they settle quickly into the learning community. Pupils get along very well. Adults work hard to resolve any bullying issues, and pupils feel safe. The school’s values drive its everyday life, and these are seen to permeate every aspect of it. Leaders have high expectations for pupils and staff alike. They have ensured that there is a well-planned curriculum. It is broad and ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils’ work builds on what they can already do. Teachers help pupils to remember in the long term what they have learned. As a result, pupils learn well. Across the school, there is friendly respect between staff and pupils. Pupils behave well in class and at social times. Disruption to learning is rare. Staff prepare pupils, including those in the sixth form, well for the next stage in their education. Pupils also benefit from a good range of extra-curricular activities, including the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Leaders and governors are sharply focused on improving the quality of learning further.
