Pupils enjoy belonging to this welcoming school. They form trusting relationships with one another and staff. Pupils know that if they have a problem an adult will listen to them and sort it out. Pupils are keen to learn and are enthusiastic about wearing the badges they earn when they display the school’s ‘antler’ values. The school wants the very best for pupils. It is ambitious for every pupil to have a good education. However, pupils do not always achieve their potential. They do not all achieve as well as they could because the curriculum is not always delivered effectively. The school has high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and the majority of pupils meet these. Pupils are kind to one another and respond well to the behaviour routines and rewards. They are excited about collecting green ‘trackits’. However, occasionally pupils find it difficult to concentrate on learning due to disruption caused by other pupils. There is a range of clubs including choir, martial arts, archery and laser tag, where pupils can develop their interests. At lunchtime, pupils benefit from the support of trained pupil playleaders and organised sports activities. This ensures everyone is happily occupied on the playground.
