OUR CURRICULUM INTENT, IMPLEMENTATION & IMPACT
Pupils flourish in this kind and welcoming school, where they feel happy and safe. Strong relationships between staff and pupils foster a sense of community. Pupils take on leadership roles, participate in charity work and help out with organising acts of worship for each other. These roles help to develop their character and strengthen the school’s sense of unity.
