There is a deep sense of community at Southtown Primary School. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are supported well by staff and are safe. Pupils participate in a range of activities outside the classroom. The youngest children enjoy visits, such as to an aquarium. Older pupils can join the school council to play their part in the life of the school. The school disco is a popular event for all pupils. The pupil well-being ambassadors recently won a national award for their work. They are looking forward to visiting Birmingham to attend the presentation ceremony. Most pupils behave well during lessons, but too many do not. This is unsettling for some pupils. Most pupils want to follow leaders’ high expectations of how they should behave. However, these expectations are not always communicated clearly and applied consistently by staff. Some pupils do not know what is expected of them. This prevents them, and other pupils, from being able to learn. Bullying happens occasionally. Pupils know that adults do not tolerate bullying and will resolve any issues. Pupils typically play together well at social times.
