Pupils cross the school’s threshold eagerly. They are ready to face the day ahead. Pupils enjoy all that the school has to offer, whether this is acting as a play leader, working on the school’s allotment or spending time with Tilly, the school dog. They are delighted that the usual after-school clubs and trips are back on the agenda following the lull imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Pupils’ courteous and considerate behaviour makes the school a welcoming and safe place to be. They follow the school rules without fuss or complaint. Pupils are comfortable and relaxed in each other’s company. They show respect to everyone they meet. Pupils view the differences between people as something to celebrate, not as a reason to be unkind. Pupils trust the adults who care for them. They know that staff will listen to them and treat them equally. Pupils are confident that staff will deal with any incidents of bullying, name-calling or poor behaviour fairly and effectively. Leaders and staff have raised their expectations of what pupils can achieve. However, pupils’ progress is uneven across subjects. This is because, over time, the curriculum does not help them to know and remember more.
