At this school, pupils are polite, courteous and respectful of others. The school’s values of thankfulness, generosity, forgiveness, honesty, perseverance and respect are integral to all learning. Pupils understand these values and are encouraged to live by them. Positive relationships between adults and pupils mean that pupils learn in a calm and purposeful environment. Staff support pupils who need extra help to manage their behaviour extremely well. This minimises disruption to learning. There is an enthusiasm for learning that runs throughout the school. For example, many pupils spoke excitedly about their forthcoming residential visit to London and the many clubs that are on offer, including Taekwondo, football and the school’s musical band. Pupils’ confidence and social skills are developed well as a result. Pupils are proud to represent their school in sporting competitions and have enjoyed visits to ‘Think Tank’ and Cadbury’s World. Staff have high expectations and, as a result, pupils achieve well. Recent improvements to the curriculum are enabling pupils to do this. Pupils take on additional responsibilities around school, including a ‘buddy’ system where older pupils look after younger pupils. Pupils understand it is important to be kind. Therefore, bullying is rare. However, any issues are swiftly dealt with.
