Breckon Hill is a school that celebrates the diversity of the many different ethnic groups who attend. The school’s curriculum ensures everyone feels welcome and proud of their school. There is a focus on preparing pupils for life outside of school by teaching them to ‘work hard and be kind’. Pupils show positive attitudes to their learning. They have a clear understanding and acceptance of pupils from a wide range of backgrounds. Pupils know about many different religions. Pupils told an inspector, ‘Learning about different beliefs teaches us to understand and respect.’ The behaviour policy is applied consistently by everyone. Staff build positive relationships with pupils. This ensures there is a calm atmosphere inside and outside of the classroom, including in early years. Incidents are quickly dealt with by staff. Pupils know they must follow the rules. They say that adults deal with any unacceptable behaviour in a fair way. This helps pupils who are new to the school to quickly ‘fit in’. Bullying does not happen very often. Leaders follow procedures to record and follow up incidents so that pupils learn to make better choices. Pupils know about different types of bullying and know how to tell someone when they have any worries. Specially trained adults are on hand to support pupils when needed.
