Most pupils feel happy and well cared for at this school. They enjoy talking about their learning and want to do well. Pupils are eager to explain how they helped decide the new school values of respect, confidence, determination, aspiration, enthusiasm and kindness. Pupils know that developing these values will enable them to build positive attitudes to learning, which will help them to achieve their best. Until very recently, expectations have not been high enough. Pupils were given work that was too easy and they did not achieve well. However, this is now changing. The new interim headteacher is determined to ensure that all pupils have every opportunity to flourish and succeed. Pupils are polite and helpful. They generally treat each other with respect. Most pupils feel safe in school. They say that bullying sometimes happens. However, there is confidence that school leaders will work alongside pupils to help them resolve bullying when it occurs. Pupils develop a sense of belonging by contributing to their local community. They are proud to lead singing at the town hall when the Christmas lights are switched on. Pupils also learn about the importance of good citizenship by growing vegetables to donate to the local food bank.
