Pupils appreciate the kind, respectful and harmonious atmosphere in this school. They know that they can be themselves. Pupils feel safe and leaders ensure that they are kept safe. Bullying is very rare, but pupils know that any concerns are addressed swiftly by staff. Pupils are helped to create positive and healthy friendships. They actively support each other, for example by talking to and including anyone sitting on the ‘friend’ bench. Pupils’ behaviour and attitudes are excellent. In most subjects, leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum that has pupils’ character development at its core. Pupils achieve successfully and are well prepared for the next stage of their education, employment or training. They are also supported to develop into citizens who can make a positive contribution to society. Pupils play a full and active part in wider school life. Members of the school council help to mould the experiences of their peers. For example, they devise the rules for outside play. Pupils are supported to learn about and understand other cultures. For example, they send books to and talk with children who attend a school in Ghana. Pupils value and appreciate the very wide range of experiences provided for them.
