Pupils at Bovey Tracey Primary School model their school rules to be ‘respectful, responsible, safe and kind’ in everything they do. They are compassionate towards others. Pupils say bullying does not happen often and is quickly stopped. This is because leaders have developed a school culture based on nurture and inclusion. Pupils get the help that they need, which supports them to feel happy and safe. Leaders have high expectations for every pupil. Many parents and carers are positive about the support the school provides for their children. Pupils are keen to learn. However, pupils do not yet benefit from an ambitious curriculum. They are not supported sufficiently well to build on what they know. Consequently, pupils do not learn as well as they could in all subjects across the school, including in the early years. Pupils develop responsibilities through a range of roles, including peer mediators, class buddies, play leaders and the climate change group. In Year 6, all pupils participate in a civic award. This supports them to become active citizens in their school and local community. Leaders provide a range of wider opportunities, including choir and orchestra. Pupils who attend the gardening club take pride in improving their school grounds.
