School Description

Pupils are proud to be part of their school. They have positive attitudes toward learning. Staff give pupils the confidence to not give up when they find learning tricky. Pupils’ resilience is developing well. The school values courage, compassion and collaboration. Pupils remember and understand these values. Pupils believe that everyone should be treated fairly. They say they feel safe in school. There is always an adult to talk with if they have worries. Parents and carers say their children are happy and enjoy going to school. Pupils attend school regularly. They know how to keep themselves physically and mentally healthy. Pupils enjoy taking part in the daily mile. They like the wide range of afterschool clubs on offer, such as netball, chess and tag-rugby. Years 5 and 6 pupils value the opportunity to take on roles of responsibility. For example, pupils are lunchtime monitors, school councillors and science ambassadors. Leaders are ambitious for pupils’ learning. Nonetheless, leaders’ ambitions are not fully actioned across all subjects. Pupils have gaps in their wider curriculum subject knowledge. Some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not achieve as well as they could.
