Pupils, parents, carers and staff are proud to be members of this warm, welcoming school community. Leaders ensure that the school’s Catholic ethos and values of ‘living, learning and growing together’ thread through all aspects of school life. These values are made meaningful to the pupils. Pupils are taught about the character virtues and strengths that can support decision-making, positive relationships and life in the wider world. The very positive relationships between staff and pupils reflect these core values. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils. They create a calm and highly positive environment in school, which allows pupils to develop exceptional attitudes and behaviours. When appropriate, skilled adults support pupils to manage their emotions. Pupils know they are cared for and that their teachers believe in them. They feel safe, happy and get on well together. Pupils are considerate of each other in tricky times and work incredibly well together in class and on special projects. Leaders give considerable emphasis to positive relationships with parents, carers and the community. Parents highlight the support they have received from the school during the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent return to school. Parents value the care that staff give to pupils. This caring approach from all staff is evident in the daily life of the school. The strong links between home and school support pupils to attend well and participate in the wider experiences that the school offers.
