The school motto 'love of God, love of people, love of learning, love of life' permeates throughout all aspects of school life. Pupils are proud and happy to be a part of this inclusive school. They feel cared for and safe when they are at school. Staff take the time to build positive relationships with pupils and pupils appreciate this. Pupils’ best interests are at the heart of all that the school does. The school goes above and beyond to ensure that pupils are nurtured well so they can flourish. The Saint Siena room is dedicated to promoting the wellbeing and mental health of pupils. Pupils receive one to one targeted support for issues such as low mood, exam stress and friendship issues when required. This helps pupils to develop resilience and independence in overcoming challenges. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and pupils live up to these. They are motivated to learn in lessons, and they socialise well with peers of all ages at break and lunchtimes. There are a range of clubs on offer for pupils to take part in. For example, the disaster club allows pupils to discuss natural disasters, and the drama club is a favourite for those who take part in the whole school production. This helps pupils to develop their talents and interest.
