Staff have very high expectations of all pupils, including those with Send. The school has designed a broad and ambitious curriculum. As a result, pupils develop secure subject knowledge. behaviour and conduct is exemplary. Pupils are polite and courteous. They have highly positive attitudes and behave well in lessons. Consistently high-quality teaching from staff who are experts in their subjects means pupils develop a deep understanding of the subject content.”
