The school's Christian ideals are the cornerstone of all parts of practise thanks to the strong ethos that school leaders have established. This has made the environment peaceful.

The school has a supportive and caring culture. Students feel secure. A small number of students at the school are watched for, and their care is similarly individualised.

A new sense of purpose emerges as a result.
