This is a happy school. Pupils are welcomed in their classrooms each morning with a cheerful greeting. Adults shower pupils with kindness. They know the pupils well. Pupils feel safe in school. Pupils are proud of their school. They list the many things they like about it. They stick to the school values. When they do things well the adults in school tell pupils, ‘You have filled my bucket.’ Pupils are motivated to be the best they can be by the ‘3 o’clock club’. This is when they visit the headteacher to tell her about their good work and behaviour. The weekly Friday awards assembly and ‘bucket filling bonanza’ time to celebrate pupils’ achievements are highlights of the school week. The school is ambitious that every pupil will do as well as they can during their time at the school. They want pupils to aim high in their future lives. Pupils learn about the jobs they can have when they are adults. The school is determined that these first few years of education will build a firm foundation for the next steps in pupils’ education. The school’s motto, ‘aspire and believe to achieve’, is at the heart of the school’s work.
