The school is ambitious in its aims for all pupils to enjoy their learning and to flourish as individuals. Pupils often rise to these expectations and try their hardest, even when the work is challenging. Pupils have many opportunities to develop their skills and interests more widely. There are leadership roles for pupils, such as the being an anti-bullying ambassador or house leader. The school is involved in both local and national partnerships.
