Leaders have created a special place where all pupils are welcomed, nurtured and safe. Pupils enjoy school and attend well. They are punctual and are ready to learn. The school’s core values, including honesty, respect and tolerance, are well embedded and modelled by every member of the school community. This creates a strong foundation where differences in faith, belief and background are celebrated. The caring relationships between staff and pupils are at the heart of the school. The high expectations underpin pupils’ exemplary behaviour. They say that there is no bullying and that unkind behaviours are extremely rare. Pupils are confident that staff would resolve any issues. Pupils learn exceptionally well across the curriculum. This is because teachers’ subject knowledge is strong, and they teach content in a logical order. This means that pupils learn and remember more because new learning builds on what they already know. Pupils engage well in work that challenges them. Reading is given the highest priority. Pupils are proud of their achievements and well prepared for their future steps. Opportunities alongside the taught curriculum are extensive. Pupils enjoy activities including chess, archery and skiing. They say that these experiences develop their social skills and resilience.
