Pupils strive to be the ‘best they can be’ at this small village school. Everyone works together in harmony. Pupils are welcoming, polite and courteous. They understand what it means to be a good friend. They listen to each other’s ideas and praise their friends for showing positive attitudes. Parents and carers are unwavering in their praise for the school. As one parent, typical of many, commented: ‘We love this school. It focuses on children’s celebrations and successes and not just the academic.’ Pupils behave well. They pay attention in lessons and enjoy their social times together. They look forward to receiving ‘kindness awards’ during celebration worship. They relish the opportunity of seeing their name written in the ‘Gold Book’. It means they have gone the extra mile to live out the school’s values. Pupils fulfil their roles and responsibilities in school with pride. They lead their peers in mindfulness activities. Some are sports leaders. Others are democratically elected to be school councillors. Pupils benefit from attending a range of extra-curricular clubs. They enjoy taking part in sports events and competitions. Careful adaptations mean that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) can participate fully in all school events.
