Leaders and staff place pupils’ safety and welfare above all else. If pupils have any worries or problems, staff always have time to listen. In addition, staff are quick to provide help when it is needed. During the recent disruption caused by the pandemic, leaders and staff did a lot to make sure everyone was safe. The school’s work on safeguarding is a strength. The mathematics curriculum is taught well. Pupils enjoy it, work hard, and learn a lot. In reading and handwriting, progress is not as strong but is heading the right way. In other subjects, such as science and geography, pupils cover a lot of ground. However, staff could do more to make sure pupils remember the right things. In class and on the playground, pupils usually behave well. Bullying can happen from time to time, but staff deal with it effectively. Pupils like coming to school. They are proud of their achievements and the awards they can earn. Pupils feel safe at school. They value the kindness, care and support they receive from the adults who work there. Most parents who expressed a view said positive things about the school and its work to support families.
