United through learning – supporting all pupils
The school’s provision for well-being, care, support and guidance is a notable strength. Leaders, alongside a highly skilled well-being team, have a visible presence and prioritise developing strong relationships with the most vulnerable families. They successfully create a safe environment and an ethos based on mutual trust and respect, ensuring that pupils and their parents or carers feel supported. This commitment is central to the school’s vision statement, ‘United Through Learning’.Staff provide extensive and practical support to families who face challenging circumstances. As a result of this comprehensive and compassionate approach, the school successfully values every pupil and family and reduces the impact that trauma, upheaval, and poverty have on attainment and progress. Consequently, nearly all pupils and their parents and carers feel safe, happy, valued, and respected. In turn, most pupils make strong academic, social, and emotional progress at the school.
