Pupils are happy and enjoy coming to school. They get on well with each other. Leaders have high expectations of every pupil. Staff work as a close-knit team. They know pupils well and help them to settle into school life and to achieve well. Pupils behave well. They show respect for each other and their teachers. Pupils and staff eat together at break and lunchtimes. This helps pupils to develop warm and supportive relationships with staff. In lessons, pupils try hard and want to do well. The pupils who spoke with us said that they feel safe. They do not think that bullying is an issue. They told us that, if it happens, staff deal with it quickly. Pupils said that teachers make learning fun. Pupils particularly enjoy the wide range of practical activities on offer, such as art and music. Pupils recently participated in the ‘Young Voices’ concert in Manchester. They relish the opportunity to play sports, such as hockey and tennis and participate in residential visits. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly supportive of the school. One parent commented, ‘The school has changed our children’s lives. They are now confident, eager to learn and happy going into school.’
