They become exceptionally well-rounded individuals. Pupils' academic outcomes at the end of their courses are excellent. They are very well prepared for their next steps in their lives. Pupils behave with maturity. They feel empowered to play a role in maintaining the school's high standards of behaviour. Pupils feel safe to challenge any behaviour of others that falls below expectations. In lessons, pupils are resilient when faced with challenging learning. There are countless opportunities for pupils to develop their leadership skills. Sixth-form students take pride in how they mentor and support younger pupils. Elected pupil parliament members represent their peers and make meaningful change in the school. Pupils lead a wide range of clubs. Pupils organise wider school events, such as culture day.
