Inspectors highlighted ‘pupils know there are high expectations for their achievement and attendance. They benefit from an interesting and engaging curriculum,’ and that ‘trips and visits help to bring the curriculum to life for pupils.’ Academic excellence is important, but the values that go with the achievement of the students are critical in ensuring that our students are well prepared for the challenges which await them beyond the school gates.
