In lessons and around the school, pupils behave well. They demonstrate kindness and empathy towards each other. Relationships between staff and pupils are nurturing and supportive'.

It goes on to say that 'the school is led well’. ‘Governance is strong’, with knowledgeable governors providing strategic oversight. ‘staff share leaders’ vision and work hard to continually develop the quality of education’ - ‘staff are almost unanimously proud to work at the school’ and that ‘Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the quality of education and the pastoral support at the school.

We are an Academy in the heart of the community and so we take the time to get to know and understand each student, supporting them to do their very best.
