Pupils feel safe in school. This is a school where staff care deeply about the wellbeing of pupils. Pupils show respect for each other and the adults who work with them. Pupils told inspectors that it is good to be a pupil in this school because they are given responsibility to help other children. Pupil leaders help to organise games at lunch and to sort out any occasional falling out. The pupil parliament has agreed a set of rules for behaviour in class. Usually, pupils behave well and play happily together. Bullying is not tolerated. It is dealt with swiftly when it occurs. Behaviour has improved round school. However, some pupils still lose concentration in lessons when expectations are not high. Pupils get many chances to take part in extra activities outside of lessons. Visits to York help pupils learn about the Vikings and residentials in the Lake District broaden pupils’ experiences. New leadership is making a real difference. The acting headteacher has brought about many improvements, but there is still more work to do. Staff morale is high and there is a strong sense of teamwork. Staff are very positive about the professional development given to them by leaders and the trust.
