Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to achieve, especially those with special educational needs and or disabilities (SEND), and the most disadvantaged. However, they are aware there is more work to be done to ensure that all pupils achieve as well as they could. The school’s five values, ‘respect, responsibility, kindness, persevere and honest’ are important to staff and pupils. They underpin the new approach to behaviour. As one pupil stated: ‘These are the mesh for behaviour. They pull everything together.’ Pupils and staff say behaviour has improved. A parent said: ‘I am impressed with how the school has been tackling behaviour in a much more positive way.’ Pupils are proud of the roles and responsibilities they hold. They say these roles, such as eco-warrior, library monitor, music monitor and leading lights, help improve the school and environment. For example, the eco-warriors organised the ‘Big Green Event’. They encouraged other pupils to explore how they could consider environmental needs. Leaders are keen to involve parents and carers in their child’s learning. ‘DEAR – drop everything and read’ events are well attended by parents. However, leaders have not always explained clearly enough the positive changes introduced in school recently.
