They learn about the importance of hard work, participation and making positive contributions to the community. These are reflected in pupils' responsible behaviour across the school. In lessons, they learn with enthusiasm. Pupils value the expertise of their teachers. They respond to their questions keenly and engage fully in class discussions. This supports all pupils to achieve highly. The diverse school community is valued by pupils. Regardless of background, pupils happily thrive in the togetherness of Gordon's. Across the school, the successes of individuals are widely celebrated. Through the 'Honours Programme', pupils receive recognition for excellent conduct and for supporting the school. The ethos of promoting success supports pupils to develop confidence and to take pride in their achievements. Pupils appreciate the extensive 'co-curricular' opportunities.
