Pedmore CE Primary is a happy school where pupils flourish. There is a strong sense of ‘family’ and of belonging. The school values – respect, trust, happiness and compassion – are at the heart of everything. Pupils say that these values give them ‘guidance about how to live life’. The majority of parents are very positive about the school. Governors, leaders and staff have high ambitions for pupils. Pupils enjoy being challenged. They work hard. By the time they leave, most pupils reach very high standards in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils also do well in other subjects, such as science and music. Everyone has chance to learn a musical instrument, play in a concert, work in the outdoor classroom and forest school. These activities help pupils to grow in confidence and to love learning. Leaders expect pupils to be responsible citizens. Pupils take this seriously. They behave well. They carry out important roles for certain aspects of school life, such as worship and reflection and caring for the world’s environment. They have a mature sense of justice and know that behaviour such as bullying is unacceptable and would be addressed. They are proud of their school and feel safe and secure.
