Pupils are proud to attend this friendly and welcoming school. They feel happy and well looked after by staff. Staff take care of pupils’ health and well-being. During discussions with inspectors, pupils spoke warmly about the many positive changes that the school has made to the quality of education. For example, pupils told inspectors that they value the introduction of the new behaviour system. Pupils said that the school provides helpful support to foster their confidence in learning. Pupils try their best to live up to the school’s high expectations for their achievement. Across a broad range of subjects, pupils are beginning to acquire an increasing body of subject-specific knowledge. However, some pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), continue to have gaps in their learning. This hinders their progress through the curriculum. Pupils want to make their school the best that it can be. Pupils behave well, and they are happy to lend a helping hand to others. For example, they enjoy gaining merits as rewards for modelling the school’s and trust’s values. Pupils demonstrated a secure understanding of fundamental British values, including democracy and mutual respect. Pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils appreciate the range of clubs they can attend. They also enjoy representing the school in a wide variety of events and activities.
