This is a nurturing and welcoming school, with a caring ethos. The school’s Christian ethos underpins school life; it helps pupils to care for and respect each other. Pupils enjoy attending school. They say that they feel safe and happy because everyone gets along well. Pupils take the values in the ‘School Promise’ seriously. They are proud to be part of the school community and act with kindness. Leaders want pupils to experience an ambitious curriculum that extends well beyond the classroom. Pupils’ learning is enriched through a broad range of experiences, including visits to historical sites, sporting competitions and museums. Leadership opportunities for pupils, such as the school council, ‘Eco Warriors’ and religious education leaders, are developing pupils’ strength of character. Parents and carers value the dedication of staff. Many parents commented that staff ‘go above and beyond’ expectations in their support of pupils. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They are polite and friendly to staff and visitors. Records show that bullying is rare. However, pupils know that if anything were to happen, then adults will deal with it swiftly and effectively.
