The headteacher, supported by the governing body, provides strong leadership and promotes a clear vision for all learners and staff. Leaders have created a positive learning environment that promotes inclusion, well-being, and an ethos of mutual respect. Staff are supported well through professional development, to set high expectations for learners' progress and to develop practices that meet the needs of nearly all learners.

Robust self-evaluation activities allow leaders to accurately identify strengths and plan for areas for development. The headteacher seeks the views of all stakeholders and monitors the progress and impact of all improvement strategies well. One example of effective practice is how the head teacher has succes...sfully engaged staff and parents in the process of creating a vision for the Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) curriculum.
