Pupils thrive in the knowledge that the school expects the very best from them. Since joining the multi-academy trust, the school has raised its expectations of pupils’ achievement. It has made sure that across the curriculum, many pupils including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well. Throughout the school, pupils benefit from positive relationships with adults. They feel assured that adults will support them if they have any worries. Pupils said that everyone treats each other kindly and with respect. They feel valued. This makes them feel happy and safe. Children in the early years and pupils in Years 1 to 6 show good behaviour both in lessons and during playtimes. Younger children demonstrate high levels of independence, preparing their own painting equipment and putting on protective clothing. They mop the floor after their activities if necessary. Pupils are proud of their school. They look after equipment and keep their classrooms tidy. Pupils are curious about the world around them. The school enhances this interest by ensuring that pupils learn through first-hand experiences such as visiting a farm and going to see dinosaur exhibitions. Pupils learn about teamwork and cooperation during their residential visit. They enjoy taking part in a range of clubs that the school offers, such as choir, reading and a range of sporting activities. Pupils value leadership opportunities. For example, becoming a reading ambassador and being a member of the eco-council.
