Pupils learn and achieve well in some subjects, such as mathematics. However, in other subjects, leaders and teachers do not check pupils’ knowledge and skills accurately. Pupils have gaps in their understanding. Although leaders have high ambitions for pupils, these are not being realised. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), do not achieve as well as they should. Pupils feel safe and happy at this caring school. They are proud of their ‘KIND’ values and keen to share these with visitors. Pupils enjoy being given the different roles and responsibilities they have in school. Some pupils have been elected as head pupil, while others are trained playground leaders. Their kindness and thoughtfulness shine through when they talk about their cancer fundraising campaign that has inspired the whole community. Pupils enjoy learning and like that their teachers have a good sense of humour. They say that teachers make lessons ‘enjoyable and fun!’ The school is calm, but hums with a buzz of busy work chatter in classrooms. Pupils describe bullying as incredibly rare. Inspectors agree. When it does happen, pupils are confident that any member of staff will deal with it. Pupils who need extra help with their emotional and mental health get to speak to adults in ‘The Den’. Pupils say that this really helps them. Relationships between pupils and teachers are respectful.
