Inspiration, achievement, and community are more than just words at Ulverley School. They are a call to action and high expectations. The school has undergone significant positive changes over the last few years, and consequently pupils’ outcomes are getting better and better. This is a calm and welcoming community. Warm smiles and friendly interactions are common between staff and pupils. Most parents are positive about the support their child gets in school. One parent whose comments reflect the views of others said, ‘Staff have successfully created a loving and friendly atmosphere.’ Behaviour is positive and calm in lessons and at other times. Pupils have very positive attitudes to their learning, and there is a purposeful air of endeavour in lessons. On those rare occasions when behaviour is not positive, staff swiftly act to provide the right support. Playtimes are well supported by caring and attentive staff who provide pupils with various games and activities. In and after school, clubs develop opportunities to be sporty and active and perform in front of peers and parents. Dodgeball and rowing competitions develop a sense of being healthy and active. Occasional visits from a ‘time-travelling professor’ help to inspire a sense of awe and wonder.
