'The ‘Wykebeck Values’ curriculum makes a positive contribution to pupils’ personal development and their preparedness for life outside school. Pupils understand the importance of tolerance and respect for others.
Pupils show positive attitudes to their learning.' (Ofsted 2021)
'Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe in the community. For example, they learn about water, fire and bike safety. Pupils know how to keep themselves safe online. Pupils told inspectors a range of ways to stay safe when using the internet.'
(Ofsted 2018.)
