Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) benefit from carefully targeted support. Pupils achieve extremely well. The school teaches pupils important learning behaviours, including resilience, being resourceful and ready to learn. This strongly contributes to pupils' exemplary conduct around the school.

Relationships and interactions between pupils and staff are respectful and polite. Pupils take their leadership roles and responsibilities seriously. These include being prefects, school councillors and rights respecting ambassadors. Pupils have a very strong understanding of the importance of valuing people's rights.
