School Description

Pupils told me that they enjoy their learning in lots of different subjects, most of which are planned and taught well. This means that pupils are ready to start secondary school when they leave the school. Pupils respond well to teachers’ high expectations of learning and behaviour. They follow teachers’ directions quickly and work sensibly in lessons. Little learning time is lost. Pupils learn to respect others’ opinions. They are confident to share their ideas in discussions. Lunchtimes are friendly occasions. Pupils said that what I saw is typical of any day at their school. Bullying and acts of unkindness are rare. Teachers sort out problems quickly, so pupils feel happy and safe. Many pupils take part in after-school activities. However, they would like the school to offer more clubs. Pupils like the various trips and visits that take place. Pupils talked enthusiastically about the whole school going to see a pantomime. School leaders seek and act upon pupils’ suggestions. For example, leaders bought more playground equipment when pupils asked for it. Leaders know what still needs to improve. Spanish is not taught consistently well. Also, some parents would like more information about how well their child is learning.
