The school’s motto of ‘learning together, growing together’ is evident in the day-to-day operation of the school. Pupils work hard and enjoy each other’s company. As one pupil told an inspector: ‘We get on well. We have high expectations of each other.’ Pupils know the school’s five values, which include being hardworking, ambitious, curious and respectful. They understand how all the values help them to make a positive contribution to their school community. Behaviour is consistently positive. Pupils are polite and courteous. They enjoy the weekly gold book assembly, earning certificates, school badges and earning tokens for their rainbow group. Poor behaviour is rare. Pupils value the wide range of extra-curricular activities that are on offer, including chess, yoga and reading club. They make good use of these. They benefit from a programme of residential visits, which culminates in a trip abroad. This year’s trip to Paris is eagerly anticipated. Pupils make a positive contribution to their school. They are confident that they have a voice. The work of the school council is regarded highly. Prefects are linked to the school’s values. They model these values to younger pupils and around the school.
