Pupils are respectful, confident, and polite. They enjoy attending school and are keen to learn. There are positive relationships between staff and pupils. This contributes to the happy and calm atmosphere in the school. Pupils understand what bullying means and say that it does not happen. They trust adults to sort out any concerns they may have. Incidents of poor behaviour are rare. Pupils are well cared for and are safe and happy. Pupils learn how to become responsible and respectful citizens. They enjoy doing things that help their school and the wider community, such as being a member of the eco and school councils and raising money for charity. Pupils learn that there are different types of families, cultures and religions that make up British society. They learn that everyone is unique and should be treated fairly. Children in Reception quickly develop a love of reading. Some older pupils are enthusiastic readers and enjoy discussing their favourite authors. However, there are a number of pupils who do not get the support they need to help them learn to read well. These pupils are not as well prepared for the next stage of education as they should be.
