Across the school, there are inconsistencies in how well pupils learn. While some pupils receive high-quality provision, this is not the case for all. Too many pupils do not learn as well as they could due to inconsistencies in the way the curriculum is taught. The school has high expectations for pupils and wants them to do their best. While pupils’ behaviour has improved, they do not achieve as highly as they are capable of. Warm relationships between staff and pupils are the cornerstone of the school. Pupils are valued and seen as individuals. They receive well-tailored support to help them with their social and emotional needs. As a result, the school is a calm and purposeful place for pupils. They enjoy spending time with friends, whether sitting and chatting quietly at lunchtime or playing games in the outdoor spaces. The youngest children receive the support they need as they take their first steps into school. Older pupils benefit from work experience and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme to help them apply their growing ‘life skills’ in the real world. All pupils benefit greatly from the school’s forest area, which provides rich opportunities for pupils to take well-calculated risks.
