Every pupil at Jasmine Grove School is exceptionally well known by staff. Staff establish strong relationships with pupils. Pupils trust the adults in school and are confident they will take good care of them. They enjoy having a hot chocolate with their teachers, showing them how the school chicks are growing or playing cricket together at lunchtime. These positive relationships extend to parents and carers. One parent summed up the views of other parents describing the school as, ‘a breath of fresh air.’ The school’s core purpose is that pupils will feel safe, valued and inspired to learn. There are high expectations for pupils’ academic achievement and social development. Pupils respond well to these expectations. It does not take long after joining the school for pupils to recognise the value of working hard and giving of their best. They are expected to behave well. Increasingly, they learn how to recognise and manage their feelings. The school is calm and orderly. As a result of the school’s kind and nurturing learning environment pupils thrive. Many pupils acknowledge how they struggled in their previous schools. They can talk about the ways in which Jasmine Grove has helped them. Pupils are happy to come to school and attend well.
