Pupils value the expertise and support of their teachers, who help them to develop the resilience and determination to succeed. Consequently, pupils achieve highly across the curriculum. The school fosters a harmonious and supportive environment. Pupils learn the importance of being kind and respectful towards others. They do not tolerate discrimination in any form. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary in lessons and at social times. During transition times, they move calmly and purposefully around school. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe in school. Pupils benefit from an extensive programme of high-quality experiences that supplement and enhance their learning, including a vast array of clubs, trips and visiting speakers. The school helps pupils to understand the importance of being active citizens and contributing to the school and to the wider community. For example, pupils take on leadership roles in school and undertake many charitable endeavours to help other people. The school goes to great lengths to identify and overcome any barriers that may hinder pupils' participation in any aspect of school life. It is determined that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit fully from the school's rich and inspiring offer.
