Pupils attend a school where warm, caring relationships are key. They enjoy each other’s company, whether in the playground, dinner hall or in class. Staff are ambitious for pupils to achieve well. They set high expectations. Pupils readily live up to these and do well. Pupils behave well in class and at social times. If pupils get too chatty, staff manage this effectively. Learning is rarely interrupted. If pupils need additional help with their behaviour, staff are highly skilled in providing this guidance. As a result, there has been a significant improvement in the behaviour of these pupils. Opportunities to see the world beyond the school gate are plentiful. Trips and visits are carefully considered to tie in with what pupils learn in the curriculum. Whether a historical, geographical or creative focus, pupils benefit from seeing learning brought to life. Older pupils benefit greatly from the leadership roles they have. For example, they take great pride in leading the ‘sensory circuit’ activities for younger pupils. Similarly, those on the school council, house captains and play leaders carry out their roles diligently. They play an important role in improving the school.
