Respectful, caring and supportive relationships are at the heart of the school. An overwhelming sense of community greets you as you arrive. Pupils are happy in school. Pupils support each other’s needs. This begins at the school gate, when Year 6 pupils meet with their ‘buddy’ in Reception. Pupils enjoy their time with Arlo, the school therapy dog. Pupils are safe and they say that poor behaviour is rare. Pupils achieve exceptionally well through their learning. Leaders maintain high expectations across the curriculum. Remembering key knowledge is a focus in every subject. Pupils respond to these high expectations with enthusiasm and they excel. Pupils appreciate their teachers. They know that teachers want them to be successful in their learning. Leaders place an exceptionally strong emphasis on pupils’ personal development. Pupils can explain clearly their understanding of fundamental British values such as democracy. Pupils have many opportunities to develop leadership roles. Pupil leaders organise sports activities, productions and a tuck shop. The ‘Worship Crew’ successfully help to organise assemblies. The majority of pupils take part in an extensive range of high-quality enrichment opportunities. Construction, ‘sing for fun’ and mindfulness clubs enhance pupils’ wider experiences.
