They receive effective, individual attention to help them reach their ambitious goals. As a result, pupils feel and are successful. They achieve important qualifications and take well-supported steps into the world of work. They take this chance with both hands. Consequently, their futures are much more positive. Pupils know that staff have their well-being as a top priority. The school's approach to behaviour reflects this. Familiar routines ensure that the school has a warm and respectful atmosphere. Staff work effectively with pupils to resolve any rare incidences of bullying. Pupils enjoy a rich variety of experiences that increase their self-esteem, confidence and sense of belonging. These include camping at the school's 'Attitude' festival, which blends developing teamwork with music and nature exploration.
