Pupils’ actions show that they are happy and enjoy coming to this welcoming school. We found that pupils’ welfare and future quality of life are what drives everyone’s high expectations. Leaders want to keep improving the school. Staff provide the pupils with the chance to develop important life skills and communicate effectively. This means that pupils have a choice and a voice in the way they learn, and they really are heard. Pupils’ needs do not become barriers to them enjoying their learning. Pupils’ behaviour is well managed. Day-to-day routines are straightforward to understand and this brings focus to learning. Pupils generally listen carefully to their teachers and to each other because classrooms are structured and calm. They are respectful and caring, with each other and with staff. Pupils who find it hard to manage their feelings get thoughtful and prompt support. Pupils enjoy the opportunities provided by the outdoor spaces and equipment there. They explore and discover in the nature area. They stretch themselves physically using a range of tricycles and scooters or on the swings and climbing frame to develop greater body control. Staff available at lunchtimes and breaktimes help pupils to eat, socialise and play together, strengthening their relationships. Staff, parents and carers agree that there is no bullying. Staff know how they would help pupils identify and deal with bullying if it did occur. Pupils’ trust in staff to help and support them is obvious in all their interactions. As a result of this, pupils thrive.
