“Pupils benefit from learning a broad curriculum, including in the creative arts and languages. Many pupils choose to continue studying arts, as well as humanities and languages, at GCSE level. Pupils learn to behave kindly and respectfully towards one another, making the school a harmonious place. Poor behaviour is rare. If bullying occurs, leaders respond quickly and effectively. Leaders and staff ensure that pupils are kept safe at school”. 

“Leaders and staff are knowledgeable about safeguarding. They are well informed about the risks pupils may face, including those in the local area. Staff are vigilant and identify and report concerns without delay”.
