Staff are incredibly caring and excellent role models for the pupils that they support. The school has an ambitious curriculum that meets the needs of its pupils exceptionally well. Pupils enjoy being challenged to think deeply and to achieve highly. They are enthusiastic about learning new information and take pride in producing high-quality work. Pupils speak confidently about what they have learned. Pupils feel safe at school. They are confident to tell an adult if they have a problem. Pupils' behaviour across the school is typically excellent. They understand the school's high expectations for academic achievement and live up to them. The rich learning experiences in the academic curriculum are complemented by the personal development programme. Pupils benefit highly from the trust's 'diploma programme'. This offers pupils a variety of learning activities from first aid to cooking a healthy meal. They are supported in forming a world view and in engaging with the local community.
