Pupils receive a good quality of education. They enjoy coming to school and are happy in their work and play. They like the fact that teachers make learning interesting and enjoyable. Children in early years get a good start to early education. Children’s social and emotional needs are identified first and foremost, so that they are ready for learning. Parents and carers spoken with commented on how quickly their children have settled. The most vulnerable pupils who may be at risk and require additional support do not always get the timely intervention and help that they need, including from the appropriate external agencies. Despite this significant weakness, pupils are kept safe on the school site. Most pupils spoken with say that they feel safe in school. Pupils generally behave well in lessons. They say that bullying is rare, and they all have a named ‘VIP’ whom they can speak with in school and at home. However, some pupils’ conduct at break- and lunchtimes falls below leaders’ expectations. Some pupils feel that poorer behaviour is not always dealt with by adults in a consistent manner. Pupils talk enthusiastically about the wide range of sporting and creative opportunities that they have in and after school.
