The Church
Leaders have high expectations of pupils. From the early years, pupils meet these expectations. They work hard in class and achieve well. Staff praise and reward pupils for doing the right thing. Pupils value this, it motivates them to achieve more. Staff prepare pupils well for the next stage of their education.
