School Description

Pupils are happy at this school. They told inspectors that they appreciate seeing their classmates each day and that they enjoy their learning. Pupils know that there are staff who they can talk to, should they have any worries or concerns. The school has high expectations for pupils’ achievement and for their wider development. Most pupils rise to these aspirations. Some spoke of future careers that they may wish to pursue, such as in book illustration, film directing and engineering. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged, typically learn well. Pupils generally behave well. They understand the school’s mission, which is about treating people fairly. Pupils said that they respect the many differences between people, including disabilities, languages and religion. They know about the importance of equality. The school aims to provide pupils with experiences that they might not otherwise have. For example, links with local organisations help pupils to develop their appreciation of social enterprise. They look forward to trips and visits, for instance to singing concerts, museums and zoos. Pupils enjoy participating in after-school activities. These include gymnastics, sports, choir and drama clubs. Pupils have opportunities to learn to play musical instruments following expert tuition.
