Pupils attend this warm, caring and nurturing school eagerly. They are keen to learn, and the excellent behaviour of all pupils means they can do so without interruption. They behave exceptionally well in lessons, when moving around the immaculately kept buildings and at playtimes. The school has developed an atmosphere where all pupils show a huge level of respect for each other. This is modelled for them by the committed, kind and dedicated staff. Pupils say they feel safe in school. This is because the school has ensured this important aspect is a high priority. From the very beginning, pupils settle very quickly in an environment where everyone is included and valued. Pupils talk about the importance of being kind and supporting others if they feel lonely or have nobody to play with. The ‘friendship bench’ helps them to do this well. The school has high expectations that all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve highly and work to the best of their ability. This high ambition is realised particularly well in reading, writing and mathematics. This begins in the early years where children get off to an excellent start in a highly stimulating setting.
