Pupils said that everyone is free to be themselves. This creates a sense of belonging which helps pupils to feel happy in school. Polite and respectful interactions between pupils and adults are the norm. Pupils embrace opportunities to make changes for the benefit of others.

The school has high expectations of pupils’ achievement. Most pupils achieve well. Staff are overwhelmingly proud to work at the school.'" Ofsted 2024
