Pupils embrace the school motto of ‘be the best you can be’. They thoroughly enjoy coming to school. Staff cheerfully greet pupils at the start of each day. Pupils, parents and carers value this greatly. Pupils feel safe and parents agree. Staff get to know pupils well and this helps them feel part of the school family. Classrooms and corridors are purposeful and vibrant. Pupils work hard in lessons and always behave well. Bullying is not tolerated. Staff resolve these incidents quickly and effectively on the rare occasions when they occur. Pupils understand the difference between friendship issues and bullying. They know that staff would help them sort out problems immediately. Pupils are kind and respectful. They hold the door open for each other and welcome visitors to their school proudly. Pupils accept different beliefs and traditions. This helps them to understand what it is like to grow up in modern Britain. Pupils grow in character. They enjoy many opportunities to develop leadership skills. For example, pupils aspire to be ‘health heroes’ who lead physical activities for younger pupils at breaktimes. Being a member of the school council teaches pupils how to conduct debates about important issues.
