Leaders, pupils and staff refer to the school as a family. They are rightly proud of its warm and nurturing atmosphere. The school is calm and orderly, and pupils are respectful to each other and to adults. Sometimes, pupils need support and understanding to manage their behaviour. Staff do this calmy so that pupils return to their learning as soon as possible. Leaders have very high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and achievement. As a result, pupils make exceptional progress with learning the curriculum. Professional relationships between adults and pupils are very positive. Pupils feel safe at the school. They like their teachers and their lessons. Many pupils said that this is the best school that they have been to. Bullying does not happen very often. When it does, leaders and staff deal with it quickly and effectively. The school environment is very well maintained and cared for. Classrooms are well organised. They are inviting places to learn, and teachers select interesting resources to teach the curriculum. Breaktimes and lunchtimes are organised and calm. Pupils enjoy and remember taking part in a wide range of visits and activities.
