School Description

Since the last inspection, there have been many improvements at Cherry Oak School. Pupils now receive a good quality of education. Pupils enjoy their learning and are happy at school. Relationships are important here. From the very start in the early years, the school takes time to support children, families and carers with this important transition. These positive relationships continue throughout school. This means that staff know their pupils and families well. Most staff act quickly to support pupils when they become anxious and need help with their emotions. Consequently, pupils are calm across school most of the time. Pupils’ safety in and out of school is top priority. All staff understand the additional vulnerabilities pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have. Pupils are taught how to communicate when they need help. All staff demonstrate the school’s motto of ‘never do nothing’ effectively. This means that staff are highly vigilant. All concerns, such as changes in pupils’ behaviours, are acted upon quickly. Staff model the school’s values of respect, inspire, support and empower to pupils. In turn, pupils demonstrate these values well. For example, pupils encourage each other to be the very best they can be during sports tournaments. All this helps pupils to be confident and motivating individuals.
