Need to know

“Pupils are very keen to acquire knowledge in a broad range of subjects, which include Latin, ancient Greek and classical civilisation. Their behaviour, attendance and attitudes to learning are excellent. Pupils maintain their focus in lessons for long periods of time and enjoy thinking about the questions teachers pose … Pupils’ confidence is largely the result of the school’s focus on building character by teaching pupils how to listen, debate and reason … Pupils and staff agree that bullying in the school is extremely rare, and this is supported by the school’s records … Leaders are rightly focused on improving the quality of the curriculum and assessment in every subject. Some subjects are further ahead than others on this journey.”
