Pupils enjoy coming to school. They respond positively to teachers’ expectations that all pupils will achieve highly. Pupils appreciate their teachers helping them to gain new knowledge and skills and guiding them to remember what they have been taught. Pupils like the school’s small community where everyone gets to know each other well. They make friends and socialise pleasantly at breaktimes. Staff are close at hand if ever needed to resolve any difficulties or worries. Leaders run the drop-in ‘Thrive’ sessions to provide pupils with support for emotional well-being. Pupils are safe in school. Pupils are encouraged to participate in discussions in lessons which help them to grow in confidence and develop oracy skills. Members of the school council wear their badges with pride, valuing their responsibilities to work with leaders on ways to improve the school. Pupils were enthusiastic about the regular physical education lessons at a nearby leisure centre. Leaders organise occasional educational visits to museums and art galleries.
