The welcoming and inclusive environment was noted throughout both visits. The outstanding behaviour of our students, state of the art facilities and excellent pastoral care results in many visitors commenting on the strong sense of a real community atmosphere existing within the school. Staff morale is high, the atmosphere in the school is very positive and students’ work and behaviour in and around school reflects this. Staff and student retention are high leading to a calm atmosphere across the school with consistency and stability evident. We have strong partnerships with many external organisations and agencies including other secondary and primary schools. We have a very strong and supportive Governing Body who take an active part in the life of the school and are fully involved in moving the school on in its journey of school improvement.
