"Pupils enjoy attending this happy and welcoming school. They value growing up as part of a
diverse community, where their different cultures and faiths are respected and celebrated.
Pupils know the school’s Christian vision and values. They speak articulately about the
difference that these values make to them. For example, they are proud of the work that
they do to ‘speak up and speak out’ to promote justice and equality."
"High expectations and positive relationships are at the heart of school life. As a result, pupils
behave very well. They walk calmly in the corridors, listen attentively in lessons and respect
others. This includes children in the early years, who learn to follow school routines. Staff
resolve any issues quickly and fairly. This includes any incidents of bullying, which are rare.
This means that pupils enjoy school and feel safe. An increasing number of pupils, including
disadvantaged pupils, attend school regularly."
"Pupils benefit from an extensive personal development programme. They cherish the wide
range of enrichment opportunities available to them. They attend extra-curricular clubs,
speak at conferences and events and go on visits that deepen their learning. Pupils
embrace the various leadership responsibilities that leaders give them. For example, the
Shades ambassadors organise themed ‘Shades days’ to promote racial equality and to
speak out against discrimination. As a result, pupils become respectful, kind and
compassionate young people, who care about making the world a better place."
"Pupils are enthusiastic about learning and appreciate the opportunities that they have to
study a broad range of subjects. They generally achieve well and are usually well prepared
for the next stage of their education. Those who face any barriers to learning are very well
supported. This means that pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/ordisabilities
and those who speak English as an additional language, are fully included in school life."
