“Pupils understand that they are expected to give their best every day … Around the school, there is a warm and friendly atmosphere. Staff and pupils share strong, respectful relationships. High-quality pastoral and academic support are available to all. Pupils know there is someone they can speak to if something worries them. They feel safe in school and appreciate the excellent facilities available. As a result, many pupils participate widely in extracurricular activities. These include several musical groups, sports teams of all abilities and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme. Staff communicate regularly with parents to celebrate pupils’ successes.”
