School Description

Most pupils, including children in the early years, enjoy coming to school. They are ready to learn. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and welcoming. For the most part, pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), behave well in lessons. Children in the early years settle in quickly. They follow clear routines, and they rise to staff’s expectations. Most pupils told inspectors that they feel safe in school. However, some pupils said that, on occasion, the school does not deal with bullying as quickly and effectively as it should. The school expects pupils to succeed academically. It has ensured that the curriculum is suitably ambitious and well organised from the Nursery Year to Year 6. However, some pupils do not achieve as well as they should. This is because, in some subjects, there are weaknesses in how well the curriculum is delivered. Pupils told inspectors that they enjoy being members of the school council and ecocouncil. They are proud to contribute to their community through, for example, fundraising events. Pupils appreciate the range of extra-curricular clubs on offer. These include opportunities to take part in music, netball and football. However, some pupils do not understand the importance of valuing the differences between people.
