Pupils, including children in the early years, thrive as they ‘aim high’ at Farington Primary School. They come to school eager to learn and are excited to see their friends and their teachers. Pupils are greeted warmly by staff as they arrive each day. Pupils flourish in the safe, welcoming and friendly environment that is provided across the school. Pupils behave well and are polite and well mannered. They are taught how to recognise and manage their own emotions, which helps them to behave sensibly. Pupils play together happily at breaktimes. Older pupils regularly act as role models and help children in the early years. The school has high expectations for pupils’ achievement. Pupils try their best in lessons and listen carefully to their teachers. They talked confidently about their learning and understand why education is important for their future lives. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils get many opportunities to be problem-solvers through the curriculum and school life. They use these skills to take on various responsibilities in the school. These roles allow pupils to contribute to the whole-school community, where they suggest fundraising ideas or changes to make the school even better.
