Everyone is valued and welcome at this school. There is a real focus on inclusion and celebration of what makes each pupil unique. Pupils recognise this and know that no one is treated differently because of who they are. At playtimes, pupils are sociable. They enjoy using the wide variety of equipment available and understand the importance of taking turns. Pupils are proud of the positions of responsibility they have in school. This includes taking care of the school guinea pigs, Cookie and Oreo. As lunchtime monitors, pupils help to maintain a calm atmosphere in the dining hall. Leaders have high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils talk proudly about moving their name up to the shooting star. Sometimes, pupils’ behaviour is not in line with what staff expect. When this happens, adults generally deal with it swiftly. Weaknesses in the curriculum mean that pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The key things that pupils need to remember over time have not been identified precisely enough. Pupils do not learn to read as quickly as they should. This means that some pupils struggle to access the books they are given.
