This is a small school with a big heart. The well-established ethos of kindness is shared by all members of the school community. This means that the school is a safe and happy place to be. Pupils who have not attended school for long periods of time enjoy coming to school. They attend daily and arrive on time, ready to learn. Pupils say that staff understand them. Expectations are high. The majority of pupils behave well. They say that bullying is rare, and unkindness is not tolerated. Relationships between pupils and staff are positive. These strong relationships support pupils’ learning well. The school is aspirational and all staff want the best for their pupils. Most pupils engage well because teachers plan learning that meets their individual needs. On the rare occasion when this is not the case, pupils struggle to remember what they have been previously taught. This means pupils do not always do as well as they could. Alongside the taught curriculum, pupils access opportunities outside of the classroom. They enjoy trips and visits that enhance their learning experiences.
