Pupils have had a part in developing the school’s values and are deeply committed to these. They confidently explain the qualities they learn about in school, such as empathy and resilience. The school sets out to give pupils a strong sense of belonging and community. Pupils say that the school nurtures them as individuals. In the pre-school, well-established routines make for a purposeful atmosphere. Here, children learn the expectations of them. This means that they know how to behave well once they reach the Reception class. They already demonstrate the curiosity and resilience that form part of the school’s values system. Pupils’ good behaviour throughout the school means that they focus on their learning in class. Older pupils recognise that expectations of them have risen. They are quick to identify any behaviour that falls short. There are, however, some occasions where pupils and parents would like to see staff insist on good conduct more firmly. Opportunities to be active are plentiful. Pupils enjoy a wide range of sporting and adventurous activities, tournaments and trips. There is a diverse range of clubs, including gardening, art and construction. Pupils participate well, with many attending several of these each week.
