St Gregory’s places Christian values at the heart of its work. Leaders ensure that pupils become respectful citizens by contributing to the life of the village. For example, pupils lead a Remembrance Day service in the local church. However, leaders still have work to do in the wider curriculum. In too many subjects they have not ensured the curriculum is implemented coherently. Pupils do not learn as much as they could. Pupils enjoy their lessons. They say that bullying is rare, but that adults sort it out when it occurs. Leaders have recently made changes to the behaviour policy. This has had mixed results. In classrooms, most pupils show positive attitudes to learning. However, some pupils still do not behave well at social times. Leaders plan trips to broaden pupils’ experiences beyond the locality. For example, older pupils visit London annually. This also develops their understanding of different cultures to prepare them for life in modern Britain. Leaders place an emphasis on character development through planned opportunities, such as residential trips. They ensure pupils learn to manage their feelings through the use of dog mentors. Pupils enjoy the wide range of clubs on offer, such as dance, forest school and construction.
