At Jesson’s C of E, pupils are happy and safe. Leaders are ambitious for them. Children get off to a good start in the early years. Across the school, leaders have made positive improvements to reading, writing and mathematics. They recognise that there is still work to do across the curriculum to ensure that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), receive a highquality education. Pupils are polite and well-mannered. There is a calm and purposeful atmosphere in lessons. Pupils want to learn and focus well but at times, when outdoors, some pupils do not behave well. These pupils are given extra help. However, this is not always having the positive impact that leaders want. This is because the approaches used are inconsistent. Consequently, the behaviours are often repeated. Bullying does not happen often, but at times, there is name calling. These incidents are dealt with quickly. Pupils have opportunities to take part in a growing range of after-school clubs, such as football, choir and dance. They value the trips that take place. Leaders give pupils opportunities to learn how to be leaders through taking on roles such as school councillors and play leaders. Some pupils are members of the ‘Crew’ assembly team, promoting messages from the school values to the whole school.
