Pupils pursue their talents and interests in the broad range of clubs on offer, such as art and football. Pupils take on roles of responsibility, including the school council, play and class leaders.

What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects in particular, recent changes to the curriculum are not fully embedded. Sometimes, teaching does not build on pupils' prior learning precisely so that pupils are fully ready for new content. In these subjects, some pupils have not achieved as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that key knowledge and skills are consistently identified in these subjects. The school should ensure that subject leaders and staff have the guidance and support to fully implement the curriculum changes.
