Our culture
We have extremely high expectations for learning and behaviour, hence our Ofsted rating of ‘outstanding’ for behaviour. Pupils feel safe, valuable and respected with us, and as a Rights Respecting School, we create many opportunities for them to take leading roles throughout the school.
