Pupils are proud of their school. They feel teachers support them. Pupils talk positively about the friendships they form. Most parents and carers agree that their children are happy at the school. Pupils typically try their best to live up to the school’s principles of being, ‘ready, willing and able.’ Leaders have high expectations of pupils. However, this is not realised in all areas of the school. Children in the early years make a strong start and most older children achieve well. However, the curriculum in key stage 1 is not ambitious. As a result, pupils do not gain the important skills and knowledge they need to be ready for key stage 2. Pupils are polite and respectful to staff and each other. Pupils enjoy playing games together. They feel safe and say that everyone is treated fairly. However, low-level disruption occurs too frequently. This means some pupils are distracted from their learning while other pupils do not achieve well. Pupils appreciate the wide range of clubs available to them such as cricket, choir and football. These help to strengthen their talents and widen their interests.
