The school has created a culture that includes everyone. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve exceptionally well across the curriculum. This is because the school works extremely well to eliminate pupils' barriers to learning.

Their behaviour is excellent. They enjoy spending time with one another and they play happily together at breaktimes.
