Ofsted report
“Pupils are set aspirational academic targets by leaders and have high expectations of themselves. Staff also encourage pupils to look after their physical and mental health. Pupils said that their teachers talk about mental well-being all the time. If pupils have a concern about anything, they can speak to a teacher. Pupils access extra support if they need it."
