Pupils develop a mature grasp of spiritual, moral, social and cultural issues in the wider world. Staff make sure that pupils, including those who speak English as an additional language and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are supported well. Pupils enjoy a range of enrichment activities, including 'booky breakfast' and coding club. Pupils are proud of their school. They said that their teachers make lessons fun and interesting. The school's key principles of resilience, resourcefulness, reflectiveness, responsibility and relationships lie at the heart of the school's work. They form the spine for all subjects in the curriculum. Pupils know and apply these principles well. They achieve exceptionally well. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes are excellent. They are respectful, well mannered and polite. Pupils say that when incidents of poor behaviour do occur, adults sort them out promptly. They feel that adults do this in an age-appropriate way.
