Since becoming an academy, the school has experienced a period of transformation. Leaders are resolute in their ambition to provide a high-quality education for all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged. Many parents and carers, as well as older pupils, recognise the improvements that have been made in recent years. The school’s inclusive ethos supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. Pupils acknowledge that some of their peers find learning more challenging than others. They show kindness and respect in their actions. Pupils are polite and courteous to their peers and adults. Older pupils are strong role models to those who are younger. Most pupils behave well in class. They demonstrate the positive behaviours that are expected of them. Pupils are taught to recognise how their actions affect themselves and others. The school teaches them strategies to take responsibility for, and manage, their behaviour effectively. Pupils are proud to carry out leadership roles in school. Pupils apply for responsibilities such as librarians, health and safety advisers and lunchtime helpers. They carry these out with maturity. Well-being ambassadors support pupils if they have any concerns. Pupils know that they can go to an adult if they are worried about something.
