The detail backs it up: 97% of parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy, and the same proportion felt their child is safe. Behaviour is seen as a real strength, with 90% agreeing the school ensures pupils are well-behaved. On the practical side, 97% said their child can take part in clubs and activities, and 95% felt there is a good range of subjects available. The school is clearly popular locally too.
