Children are happy and safe at this school. They arrive each morning eager to learn and quickly settle into the well-established routines. Staff take time to get to know each child, providing warmth and security that helps them to feel confident. The youngest children are supported sensitively, for example, when learning to use cutlery, managing personal care or joining in with the morning greeting songs. The school has high expectations for children’s learning and behaviour. Children rise to these expectations, showing curiosity, persistence and pride in their work. They are encouraged to use both English and French with increasing confidence. Children enjoy joining in with songs, counting and everyday conversations in both languages. Staff generally model language well, and children are motivated to repeat and use new vocabulary. Behaviour is calm and orderly. Children understand routines and are helped to manage their emotions. Adults encourage independence, for example, as children put on coats and shoes, collect resources or tidy away their activities. Relationships across the school are warm and supportive. This combination of nurture, high expectations and a rich bilingual environment gives children a strong foundation for learning and for life.
