Pupils are polite and kind. They are friendly and they enjoy caring for each other, and for any new pupils who join the school. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), respond well to the high expectations that leaders have of their behaviour and achievement. Leaders deal effectively with cases of bullying should they occur. Pupils said that they enjoy school. They feel safe because they are encouraged to pass on any worries they have to a trusted adult. Leaders ensure that pupils can take part in a range of activities that support their wider development, such as dance club, karate club and raising money for charity. Pupils relish the opportunities that they have to perform the plays of Shakespeare as a result of the links that leaders have established with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Pupils aspire to the many leadership roles available to them, which include librarians, playground activity leaders and buddies to children in the Reception class. They value the opportunities that they have to celebrate their achievements, such as gaining recognition when they exhibit the school’s values of care, learn and respect.
