Children make a great start in the pre-prep school. They concentrate and learn well. They rapidly develop positive attitudes to learning, which continue through the school. Pupils achieve well in a wide range of subjects. Pupils learn about faith, culture, diversity and morality. There is an extensive programme to promote British values and enable pupils to make positive contributions to society. Pupils enjoy many educational activities, for example the presentation to parents and carers about their ‘Journey Around the World’. Pupils checked everyone onto a flight and acted as air stewards, giving pre-flight safety talks. This involved pupils using role play to develop a better understanding of an international journey. Teachers have high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Leaders encourage pupils to be kind and respectful. Pupils generally behave well. Occasionally, pupils are distracted from their work when they find it too easy or too difficult. The teachers help them to refocus swiftly. Pupils feel safe in the school. They know what to do if they have any worries. Incidents of bullying are rare. They trust adults to deal with any concerns. Parents are very supportive of the school. Comments such as pupils ‘learn through having fun’, and they are ‘stretched not stressed’ are typical.
