Ofsted report
“Pupils are provided with a range of experiences to promote their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. For example, they have participated in a project to understand the Holocaust and recently took part in the European Day of Languages. Pupils also engage enthusiastically in projects for charities, such as supporting the local food bank. Pupils are able to take part in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Staff identify individuals’ level of skill which they match to activities which helps pupils’ development. However, this is not pupils’ normal experience in a wide range of subjects.”
