Pupils flourish in this happy, safe and welcoming school. They behave sensibly, work hard- and achieve well in a range of subjects, including English and mathematics. The school’s unique curriculum captures pupils’ interest and motivates them to find out more about the world. They explore different ways of working and learn to take increasing responsibility for their own learning. Pupils know that adults expect them to do their best. Pupils learn that their views matter. During the inspection, for example, some of the youngest children in the school requested a quick jog around the school garden before their phonics session. After a few minutes in the fresh air, they settled down to phonics without fuss and ready for learning. Pupils respect adults and each other. They have a keen sense of equality and fairness. All pupils who spoke with the inspectors said that they feel safe. They told inspectors that they can always rely on an adult to help them to sort out any worries. A small minority of pupils who completed Ofsted’s survey were less positive. Leaders take prompt and appropriate action if concerns about bullying arise.
