Pupils enjoy attending this happy and welcoming school. Pupils behave well here. The school environment is calm and orderly. This is because routines are established, and expectations are clear. Pupils are kind and considerate towards others, including those in the early years. For example, older pupils take on the role of ‘play leaders’ and support younger children during breaktimes. Pupils are respectful towards others. This includes those of other faiths and those in different kinds of families. Pupils know who to talk to if they are worried. They know they will be listened to. As a result, they feel happy and safe. Leaders and governors are ambitious for pupils to succeed. However, the quality of education, particularly for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), is not as effective as it could be. In the early years, children do not develop a wide vocabulary because adults do not model language as effectively as they could across curriculum areas. Leaders provide a range of additional activities, including piano lessons, cooking, calligraphy and drama clubs. Pupils are given the opportunity to perform at the Royal Albert Hall and the O2 Arena. These creative activities support pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
