Academic
Leaders’ high expectations come to fruition, as seen through pupils’ impressive academic achievements.[34]
Warmth

Pastoral care
Care for the most vulnerable pupils is exceptional.[34]

Learning support
Disadvantaged pupils, including those with SEND, are well known and supported sensitively.[34]
