“Pupils thoroughly enjoy school and grow in confidence, becoming increasingly reflective about their own learning. They are very well prepared for life beyond school and, by the time they leave, they have extremely strong academic and personal skills. They build very positive relationships with each other, and support new, or more vulnerable, peers exceptionally well”.
