Pupils are proud to follow the school’s mission statement to ‘love one another’. They typically behave very well. Pupils say that the small size of the school allows them to be friends with everyone. Pupils seldom fall out and say bullying does not happen. They are confident that if it did, adults would sort it out quickly. Older pupils enjoy being prefects and school councillors. They check that younger pupils are happy at playtimes and establish procedures so that lunchtimes run smoothly. Pupils benefit from a range of well-attended, extra-curricular activities. Ballroom dancing, choir and British Sign Language are the most popular clubs. Pupils recently enjoyed trips to make sculptures at an art gallery and to see the opera. They regularly contribute to local, national and international charities, particularly those with a Christian ethos. Substantial changes to staffing have meant that the curriculum is not as well developed as it needs to be. What the school intends pupils to learn in each subject is not currently well organised. Systems for checking what they know and can remember are not firmly established. This limits how much pupils learn over time. Some of the school’s safeguarding procedures are not thorough enough, which puts pupils potentially at risk of harm.
