Frederick Bird Primary is a welcoming and caring school. Pupils are happy and safe. They celebrate belonging to the school’s wide, diverse community. Those who arrive speaking another language are quickly helped to settle in. Relationships between pupils and adults are warm and friendly. Pupils understand what bullying is and why it is wrong. Bullying happens sometimes, and teachers ensure that it is stopped quickly. If pupils have any worries, they know there is always an adult who can help them. Most pupils behave well in lessons. However, around the school, pupils do not always follow the school’s rules. Leaders have high expectations that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), will achieve highly. However, some aspects of the curriculum are not fully developed, so pupils are not learning as well as they could in all subjects. Pupils develop their wider interests through after-school clubs, such as gardening. They take on a variety of roles to help with the running of the school, for example by becoming a member of the school council. Parents are supportive of the school. They say that communication with the school is good and that problems are resolved quickly.
