The report had high praise for the Academy saying, ‘Staff go the extra mile on students’ behalf so all students feel a sense of self-worth.’ The inspectors say that the Academy’s vision allows students to flourish and that, ‘Relationships at all levels are a strength of the Academy, so that students relate to staff and their peers in a positive way’ and that, ‘The commitment of all staff to meeting students’ needs ensures the Academy remains over-subscribed for year seven entry.’ The report praises the inclusive and supportive nature of the Academy saying, ‘No students indicate that bullying was a problem and the school is recognised in its Ofsted report as being at the forefront of measures to curb homophobic, racist or sexist discrimination.’ The key Christian Values of the school are credited with providing strong guidance for all saying a ‘high value is placed on forgiveness, vocation, respect, positivity and service.’ Principal Lisa McVeigh said that she was delighted with the report, “we are very pleased to have this external validation of the emphasis we place on our core Christian Values at the Academy and the impact this has.”
