They value all the opportunities they can access in school. Pupils are clear that bullying does not happen and everyone is kind. Relationships between pupils and staff are positive. Pupils' roles and additional responsibilities help them to develop their leadership skills. Pupils feel they have a voice and make a difference.

What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that checks on what pupils need to know are embedded in all curriculum areas. This means that in some foundation subjects, staff do not systematically check if pupils know what they should, or if pupils have gaps in their learning. The school should ensure that assessment processes clearly identify pupils' gaps in learning to inform future teaching.
