Leaders and staff are united in their vision to develop the next generation of engineers, scientists and innovators. This vision is realised at this inclusive school. Pupils are well supported by kind staff who are determined to help them to achieve highly. The school supports students in the sixth form to progress to a range of highly ambitious next steps, including apprenticeship opportunities and higher education at university. Pupils’ behaviour is exceptional. Staff create a calm and purposeful atmosphere, both in lessons and around the school. Bullying is vanishingly rare. Pupils display a tangible and emerging professionalism as they grow in confidence and self-belief. They are confident to bring any concerns that they have to members of staff. Pupils know they will be helped with any worries that they may have. Leaders provide many broad opportunities for pupils to learn about different careers. Pupils work closely with employers on different projects, closely linked with each subject area. The curriculum is brought to life as a result. Pupils of all ages gain significant opportunities to learn about the world of work and make highly informed choices about their next steps.
