This is a happy and welcoming school where pupils love to learn. Staff know each and every pupil inside out and use this information to personalise the curriculum, maximising learning opportunities. The school has high ambitions for every pupil, including disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils live up to these expectations by working hard and behaving very well both in lessons and at social times. Pupils enjoy coming to school, and this is reflected in their positive attitudes to learning. They say that they are happy and feel safe. Pupils understand the importance of treating everyone equally and with respect. Staff and pupils view the school as a big family. This is evident in the way that younger and older pupils harmoniously eat, play and socialise together. The school ensures that pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain. They do this through a carefully considered curriculum. Pupils can talk confidently about fundamental British values such as respect and the rule of law and why these are important. Pupils participate in clubs and trips. They especially value camping in the school grounds when they are younger and then going on an outdoor residential in Wales in later years.
