Staff help pupils to recognise their own emotions. Pupils who act as emotionally friendly ambassadors are keen to be on hand to support their classmates. Pupils readily take on positions of responsibility. For example, they take delight in representing their peers as school chaplains, house captains or school council members.

What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects where the curriculum has been introduced more recently, from time to time, some teachers do not select the most appropriate learning activities. This hinders some pupils' learning in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that teachers receive the support they need to be able to deliver these curriculums with confidence.
