What the school inspection says
“Pupils are at the centre of the school’s vision. They are ‘inspired to learn’ and ‘supported to succeed’. Pupils who have special educational needs/and or disabilities (Send) access the curriculum with the appropriate support. High standards and expectations and strong relationships with teachers enable all pupils to achieve well ... Pupils are proud of their house system through which they take on ambassador roles and support younger pupils. They like the way that leaders listen to their views and enhance facilities and opportunities as a result. The diverse sporting, artistic and dramatic opportunities develop pupils’ confidence and enrich their overall learning experiences.”
