Pupils and families love this nurturing school. From the minute they join, pupils thrive in the caring environment. Children in the early years get off to the best possible start. Staff make good use of both indoor and outdoor learning areas. They provide pupils of all ages with a plethora of opportunities to learn vital skills and knowledge. The Christian values of the school underpin many aspects of school life. Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils support each other. Some take on responsibilities such as playground buddies, helping to organise activities and making sure no one is lonely or worried. Pupils are confident that bullying does not happen at their school. They know staff would help them sort it out immediately if it did. Leaders and governors share ambitious aspirations for pupils. Parents value the commitment staff demonstrate, one parent, typical of many, told inspectors that the school has ‘given our daughter the most wonderful start to her education.’ The personal development of pupils is a strength of the school. Leaders take every opportunity to extend the curriculum beyond the academic to support pupils’ interests and talents. Older pupils benefit from taking part in the young leader award. Through this they learn about character development and personal responsibility.
