School Description

Most pupils typically behave well and enjoy coming to school because leaders have recently raised their expectations of them. However, some staff do not apply these expectations consistently. Therefore, some pupils’ attitude towards their learning is not always positive. Consequently, there is still too much low-level disruption, which impedes the learning of others. Relationships between staff and pupils are generally respectful. However, some pupils do not show enough respect towards others. On occasion, there are instances of sexist language and behaviour. Most pupils feel safe while at school and have confidence in leaders to deal with bullying. However, a minority of pupils and parents do not feel confident that issues will be resolved. Younger pupils relish their daily ‘drop everything and read’ sessions. Older pupils appreciate opportunities to support younger pupils. For example, they help them with reading or to take part in sporting activities. In the Christmas production, for example, pupils of all ages enjoyed performing together. Pupils are beginning to develop an understanding of how to be a good citizen. They like raising money for charitable causes, such as Children in Need. Some pupils carry out leadership roles as prefects or anti-bullying ambassadors. Leaders are determined to make the school an inclusive place for all. For example, pupils of all ages welcome refugees from Afghanistan who have joined the school.
