School Description

The school has high expectations for pupils’ academic achievement and behaviour. These expectations are reflected in pupils’ high achievement in national tests in 2024. The school is a safe and purposeful place for pupils to learn. Pupils said there is always an adult to turn to if they have any concerns. Staff know the pupils extremely well at this caring and inclusive school. Pupils learn and follow the school’s values such as being compassionate and independent. Staff promote pupils’ development of their resilience and curiosity well. Pupils’ behaviour around school is excellent. They enthusiastically participate in their learning. Social times are calm and orderly. Pupils converse maturely with their peers. They are respectful of each other and the school environment, including the extensive grounds and facilities. Pupils learn about the differences between people. This helps them to respect people who have different beliefs and lifestyles to their own. Pupils from older year groups provide ‘buddy’ support for younger children and take part in leadership programmes. Pupils are polite and confident. Sixth-form students are positive role models for younger pupils and participate in charitable work, for example in Tanzania.
