Pupils are proud of their school and actively commit to the core values of unity, curiosity, growth and service. Their behaviour is exemplary because of their positive attitudes and their dedication to education. Pupils are kind and actively support the well-being of other pupils. They create an environment in which differences are valued and celebrated. Pupils have high expectations of themselves in every aspect of their school life. Pupils are happy and safe.
Disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are sensitively supported and achieve well. High-attaining pupils are given extension work and inspired to deepen their knowledge. The super curriculum allows them to pursue topics above and beyond curriculum requirements. Links with primary schools are managed well. Take-up and retention in the sixth form are extremely high.
