Pupils, including those who join the school mid-year, settle quickly because staff provide effective pastoral support. Pupils are happy and safe. They are proud to attend. They enjoy the specialist curriculum on offer. A highlight for many pupils is eurythmy, which is an art of expression, involving stylized movement in response to music. They say it develops their coordination, physical and mental fitness and inner confidence. There is a strong family feel at this small, inclusive school. For example, older pupils enjoy reading Spanish books to younger children. Pupils enjoy drawing, weaving, woodwork, forest school and extra-curricular activities such as chess club. Often, staff move up the school with pupils, and this allows pupils and staff to sustain relationships over time. When pupils fall out, staff help them resolve any disagreements well. In the main school, pupils usually learn a broad range of subjects. However, over time, some pupils have not learned everything they should have. Some gaps in pupils’ knowledge persist. In the kindergarten, many children enjoy the regular daily rhythm, with a blend of child-led and teacher-led activities. However, the experiences children have in kindergarten vary in quality.
