“Most pupils enjoy the education and wider opportunities that the school provides.
“They learn to become mature and responsible members of its community.
“Pupils increasingly meet the school’s high expectations for their conduct.
“They form positive relationships with staff and peers. Pupils behave better and attend more regularly than has previously been the case.
“The school is aspirational for what pupils can achieve. Most pupils produce work of a high quality and achieve well.
