This includes disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send). Teachers are passionate about their subjects and this helps them to inspire pupils to do their best. Relationships between staff and pupils are extremely positive … There is a strong focus on supporting positive mental health in pupils and staff.
