Pupils love coming to school and say it is a fun and happy place to learn. They show respect for each other and follow the school’s code of conduct – being kind, responsible and safe. This means that John Ray Infant School is a calm and safe place to be. In lessons, pupils listen carefully to their teachers and behave very well. Adults quickly and effectively deal with any unkind behaviour. Pupils trust adults to keep them safe and look after them in school. During playtime and lunchtime, pupils all play together. They mix with pupils in other classes and use the wide range of equipment on offer safely and responsibly. Behaviour in the playground is as good as it is in class. Adults in the school want the best for every single child. They make sure they look after pupils’ emotional well-being, so pupils are ready to learn. In lessons, teachers make learning interesting and encourage pupils to think hard. Pupils learn important knowledge and skills in many subjects in the curriculum. Along with this, they learn more about their local area and how they can make it a better place. For example, pupils recently worked with the local council to do a litter pick in the streets around the school.
