Leaders empower staff and consider their wellbeing when making decisions. When workload is high, leaders recognise and address this.
Professional learning at the school is highly effective. Staff engage in research-informed development projects. Many of these are led by staff themselves. These groups explore new teaching techniques and strategies to identify which will have the greatest impact at the school. This work is sharply focused on securing the best outcomes for pupils. Staff value the many opportunities they receive to develop as professionals. Early career teachers receive additional, targeted support as part of their induction.
