Pupils are not worried about bullying because they know leaders will respond to any reported incidents and take necessary action. The school promotes an inclusive ethos of respect, working to ensure that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve their potential.

What the school should improve
- In some subjects, assessment is not consistently used to inform teaching and to check pupils' understanding precisely enough. As a result, pupils do not always receive timely support to improve their work. The school should ensure that teachers know how to systematically check learning in all subjects so that they can identify pupils who need further help or support.
