The school’s ethos to ‘be kind to yourself, others and the environment’ is lived out by pupils and staff. Pupils appreciate the kindness of their teachers and know they will get help when they need it. Staff enjoy working together as a team. Most parents and carers agree that their children enjoy learning and feel safe here. The school is determined that all pupils will achieve well. It works well with the trust to identify precisely any areas of the curriculum where pupils do not achieve as highly. School leaders and the trust work together to develop these areas effectively. The school is making sure that the high achievements in many subjects is reflected across the curriculum. Pupils are polite and kind to each other. Most pupils follow the behaviour principles ‘be ready, respectful and safe’. Pupils know that adults will use the ‘behaviour pyramid’ to support them. Pupils enjoy playing together at social times and know that adults are on hand to help with any friendship problems. The youngest children quickly learn the rules and routines in Reception. They learn to help each other tidy up before walking calmly to the carpet to join in rhymes.
