WELL ABOVE AVERAGE

What the school inspection says
“Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. They ensure that their guiding principles of kindness, hard work and integrity are central to the school’s culture. Leaders have developed a calm and orderly environment where pupils are safe. Pupils have access to a broad curriculum that is ambitious for all, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (Send) … All pupils take part in ‘cultural-capital’ days each year … Leaders have developed a curriculum that meets, and in places exceeds, the scope of the national curriculum.”
