Pupils flourish in this small, caring and very happy school. Staff work in very close partnership with parents and carers and the community to deliver a positive experience for pupils. The school develops pupils’ knowledge and confidence through a highly ambitious curriculum. Pupils achieve well in their learning. The mixed-aged groupings support the school’s aspirational ethos with lesson activities challenging pupils to aim high. The school has high expectations for pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Most pupils have strong attitudes to learning in their lessons. However, a small number do not focus sufficiently on what is being taught and they can become distracted. Pupils feel safe and that there is always an adult to talk to if they need advice. Bullying is not tolerated. The school develops pupils’ independence and character. Pupils rise to the school values and understand the importance of being kind. Pupils enjoy many leadership responsibilities. These include being on the student council or being reading ambassadors. Pupils also develop their interests at the growing number of clubs they can attend after school. Leaders ensure that all pupils can take part in these activities.
