“Pupils value the great level of care that the staff provide. They say that they experience an environment which develops their character, interests and passions. Pupils feel safe in school … The ‘I heart’ initiative in Year 9 helps pupils cope with pressure and develop resilience. The calm and focused atmosphere in lessons helps pupils work productively. They show respect towards their teachers and work well with their peers ... The ‘my zone’ enrichment period ensures that all pupils can pursue their interests within the school day. It includes study skills for those in examination years and community service for older students.”
