School Description

Pupils do not learn as much as they should. This is because the curriculum does not help pupils to steadily build new and important knowledge. Pupils do not get enough opportunities to practise what they have learned. Many pupils do not make sufficient progress with key skills, such as calculation and reading. They are not well prepared for learning in secondary school. This is a school where pupils can make good friends. They embrace difference and are keen to help each other out. Staff guide pupils to emulate school values, such as respect. Pupils know they can go to an adult if they have a worry. However, pupils’ lessons are sometimes disrupted by noise and lack of attention. Some pupils’ behaviour needs to improve so that others feel safer and happier at school. Pupils can contribute to the community, go on trips and take part in sporting events. For example, children in the early years take walks in the town and go to the pantomime at Christmas. Everyone looks forward to the annual village pancake race. Pupils also have opportunities to perform, such as through taking part in a national performance alongside other schools and professional musicians.
