High levels of discipline ensure everyone is expected to work hard and make a positive contribution to the learning environment.

A "Good" School

"Pupils enjoy school and feel valued. The school is inclusive with a real sense of community. Relationships between pupils, and between pupils and staff, are a real strength."
