“The school provides a broad and balanced curriculum which enables students to understand the fundamental British values of democracy and show respect and tolerance to those of different faiths and beliefs. The headteacher and some of the other newly appointed leaders have put policies and plans in place that are starting to show signs of impact, especially in areas such as English and literacy. The students behave well and show respect and courtesy to each other and to adults at all times.”
