They have a passion for learning and are very happy in school. Working relationships between staff and pupils are entirely positive. Staff know their pupils very well. This ensures pupils are safe in school. Staff have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This enables pupils to excel.
