School Description

Pupils enjoy school. It is a friendly, safe place to be. Pupils say: ‘We all get along well together, school feels like a family. Staff make sure we all get the help we need.’ Parents who shared their views would recommend the school to others. Behaviour is good. Pupils are polite and well-mannered. Bullying is rare. They feel they can approach any staff for help if they have concerns. Pupils care for, and look after, one another. In assemblies, they applaud and cheer for those gaining achievement awards. Increasingly, pupils joining the school with more challenging behaviour are managed well. Primary-age pupils learn well in the caring, nurturing environment provided. Early reading is well established. A minority of older pupils lack confidence in reading and need more help. Older pupils enjoy a good blend of academic study and work-related learning. This boosts their confidence and prepares them well for the next stage. Design and technology and physical education (PE) are popular with pupils. Working in the school shop, training as baristas, work experience and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award add significantly to pupils’ personal development and enjoyment of school.
