The whole-school community embodies the school values of perseverance, aspiration, respect and teamwork. Pupils feel safe and are happy. They benefit from nurturing relationships with staff across the school. Pupils feel listened to, and any incidents of bullying are dealt with by adults appropriately. They are clear that unkindness is not tolerated in their school. Pupils are keen to meet leaders’ high expectations of them. They enjoy learning and delight in talking about the lessons that they have enjoyed and the books that they are reading. The school makes good use of the outdoor space available to extend learning beyond the classroom. Welly walks, trips to the mud kitchen and use of the forest school all provide pupils with ways to broaden their knowledge. Opportunities for pupils to take on leadership responsibilities across the school are highly prized. Pupils enjoy representing the views of their peers through the student council, being an anti-bullying ambassador or a ‘rainbow rep’. There are a wide range of clubs and activities to participate in, ranging from football club to Minecraft club. As one parent said, ‘I would recommend this school to prospective parents as the sense of community here is fantastic for everyone.’
