School Description

Most pupils and parents agree that the school is inclusive and caring. Parents appreciate the support the school provides for their children. Pupils respectfully celebrate the values of the school, ‘uniquely different, united together and universally prepared’, during daily collective worship. Pupils are not supported well enough to remember the most important knowledge. As a result, too many pupils have gaps in their learning. The school recognises that improvements to the curriculum have not had the intended impact. To develop confidence, pupils take on roles of responsibility, such as prefects. The pupil ethos group works well with the school’s leaders. Together they identify ways to improve the school, such as purchasing new equipment for the pond and mud kitchen. Pupils learn to keep safe online. They say that at times bullying happens but staff are quick to take appropriate action. Pupils enjoy playing together with the range of equipment in the playground. Many pupils benefit from a range of extra-curricular activities that develop their interests and talents, such as football club and gardening club.
