A calm and respectful atmosphere pervades Preston Muslim Girls High School. Pupils' conduct reflects the school's values of patience, modesty, gratitude, humility and sincerity. Pupils are kind to each other and they show respect for staff and visitors to the school. Leaders' expectations for pupils' academic achievement are unwaveringly high for every pupil. This includes those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, achieve exceptionally well. Similarly, leaders and staff expect the best of pupils' behaviour. Pupils are proud of the rewards that they receive in recognition of how well they behave. They are supportive of their classmates and they celebrate the successes of their peers. Pupils learn about different types of bullying and how to report it. Leaders deal with any incidents of bullying swiftly and effectively. This helps pupils to feel safe in school. For example, some pupils described the school as their 'safe bubble'. Pupils said that they are happy to arrive at school each day. Leaders place great emphasis on the importance of pupils' wider personal development. To this end, there is a myriad of leadership roles that pupils are keen to apply for. These include acting as literacy ambassadors, prefects and spiritual leaders. Added to this, pupils value and make the best use of the many lunchtime clubs on offer, such as art for mindfulness.
