Leaders and teachers have clear and high expectations of what their students can achieve, and students live up to these expectations, enabling them to meet and exceed their goals. Students are highly motivated to learn and develop their individual skills and ambitions. Attendance is very high. Students value the sense of community where they can be their authentic selves, celebrate their differences and rejoice in what makes them unique. Leaders enhance students' commitment through strategies such as 'raise your grade', in which many students take part to collect rewards for putting in extra effort with their studies. Students benefit from high-quality careers advice and guidance, and are prepared exceptionally well for their next steps. They gain a deep understanding of the options available to them and make very well-informed choices.
