Leadership has successfully brought about improvements at the school. Leaders' mantra, ‘compassionate rigour’, ensures that expectations of staff and pupils are high, but implemented with warmth. The positive impact on pupil behaviour is noted by staff, pupils and parents and carers. Leaders have inclusion at the heart of their work. The commitment from school and trust leaders to nurture the most vulnerable pupils is demonstrable.
Staff benefit from a coherent, research-informed professional learning programme, driven by leaders' priorities. Staff are proud to work in the school. They value the care and attention that leaders and governors give to their workload and work-life balance.
