Pupils are happy in this friendly, welcoming school. Children in early years develop secure attachments to key adults. Older pupils enjoy using the outdoor gym equipment or playing football at breaktime. Pupils and children of all ages feel safe and are kept safe in school. Teachers expect pupils to listen carefully and to try their best in lessons. However, in some subjects, the curriculum does not help pupils to learn well. Pupils do not learn some of the important knowledge that they need in these subjects. This is especially the case for the eldest pupils in school. Pupils and children across the school do not achieve as well as they could, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). There are opportunities for pupils to learn about some of the differences among people in their local community and in the wider world. For example, they learn about some other faiths and cultures. They learn to treat others with kindness and care. However, pupils in the secondary phase of education do not learn about all of the protected characteristics. This limits pupils’ readiness for life in British society. Pupils understand the school rules and behave well. Leaders have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Two- and three-year-olds develop good manners as they eat their lunch with staff. Older pupils respond quickly to instructions, for example when moving about the school. The school is generally an orderly place. Pupils told inspectors that any incidents of bullying are dealt with quickly by staff.
