They are taught that discrimination of any kind is wrong. Staff deal with any concerns swiftly. Staff work with students calmly and with kindness. There is a positive ethos across the college.

What the school should improve
- In PSHE, the school has not securely detailed the specific knowledge and range of activities that it wants students to learn and experience. This limits students' deeper knowledge and understanding in these subjects. The school should ensure that the offer for PSHE is broadened and logically ordered, so that students have the widest possible range of curriculum and wider opportunities.
