There is a warm welcome at classroom doors each morning as staff greet parents, carers and pupils as they arrive at school. Classrooms quicky become hives of activity and no time is wasted as pupils settle quickly to their work. Pupils are polite, respectful and greet visitors with a smile. They are proud of their school. They told inspectors that they feel safe and well looked after. Pupils said that bullying is extremely rare. They said that if it does happen, staff deal with it effectively. Leaders have high expectations regarding pupils’ learning and behaviour. They are ambitious and ensure that pupils become happy, successful learners. They inspire pupils to work hard so that they achieve their very best. Staff encourage pupils to live up to the school’s values of responsibility, respect, aspiration and pride. Pupils respond well to the high standards that are expected of them. They enjoy receiving tokens in recognition for their good behaviour and attitudes. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, leaders had ensured that a range of after-school clubs were available for pupils to choose from. Pupils are pleased that these clubs are starting up again. They are also looking forward to the residential visits later in the year.
