In the inspectors' and the school's words

Academic
Pupils gain a good all-round education, where academic success and well-being are equally valued.[18]
Warmth
Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and supportive. They are proud of their school and enjoy their learning.[18]
Pastoral care
Leaders have an impressive knowledge of individual pupils and the risks that they may face.[18]
Behaviour
Pupils conduct themselves very well in lessons and when moving around the school. There is little disruption to lessons.[18]
Learning support
Pupils who attend the ‘Coin Centre’ receive expert help, which enables them to access the whole curriculum. Pupils with SEND receive good support across the school.[18]
Enrichment
Many pupils take advantage of the extensive range of clubs and activities provided outside of their regular lessons. The cadets programme is one of the unique opportunities available for pupils as a result of this partnership.[18]
Collaboration
They settle quickly to their work and co-operate with staff and each other.[18]
Structure
Staff have very high expectations of behaviour. The morning roll call sets the tone for the day.[18]
