“Mutual respect and positive relationships are at the heart of this school community.”
“Yet, with patience, care and humour, staff help pupils to feel safe, welcome, understood and cherished.”
“Pupils develop a deep sense of belonging to the school, which they describe as a family.”

“Following disrupted experiences of school previously, pupils typically do not value education when they first arrive.”
“Many pupils arrive in the school low in confidence and with little faith that education has anything to offer them.”
“However, some checks on pupils' understanding do not closely match what they have been taught.”
