All staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve at every stage of their education. Pupils achieve well. They move on to appropriate destinations after school. Equality, diversity and mutual respect are taught through all aspects of the curriculum. The books pupils read challenge stereotypes and promote understanding of people from different backgrounds. Other cultures are celebrated through a plethora of events. Pupils of all ages take on responsibilities in roles such as mental health ambassadors, buddies, school council members and tutor captains.

What the school should improve

The trust should ensure that planned changes to the curriculum are fully implemented so that all pupils benefit from the broad, ambitious curriculum that the school has designed.
