Fern Hill Primary School is a place where pupils thrive. They benefit from positive and nurturing relationships with staff and other pupils. Their opinions are regularly sought and listened to. For example, the school council made suggestions on how to improve the school and helped to choose the new lunch caterers. Pupils take on a range of leadership opportunities, including the eco-committee, play leaders and reading champions. Pupils enjoy learning a curriculum that is highly ambitious and stimulating. They consistently produce high-quality work across subjects and achieve very well. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school and the education and care their children receive. Pupils’ behaviour is excellent. This is because staff have consistently high expectations for behaviour, which pupils rise to meet. This starts in early years, where children learn to be considerate and kind to each other. Pupils understand the importance of accepting others for who they are. They feel safe and are kept safe at school. A diverse offer of additional activities ensures that pupils’ talents and interests are carefully considered. Pupils enjoy attending clubs such as film, sewing, chess, and gardening. They participate in a wide range of local sports competitions. Staff are diligent in ensuring that pupils never miss out.
