Pupils are extremely proud of their school, which they describe as being part of a large family. Pupils are happy and safe. They strive to become active members of their school community and pupil leadership opportunities are plentiful. For example, staff train pupils to become well-being ambassadors. Staff expect all pupils to achieve highly. They have created a culture which empowers pupils to succeed and be aspirational about their future lives. Pupils said that they want to make a positive contribution to society. Pupils’ behaviour is excellent. From the time children join the early years, they learn to get on well with each other. Pupils are polite, respectful, and considerate of one another. Pupils and staff enjoy strong positive working relationships. There is a very calm and purposeful atmosphere across the school. Leaders deal with the rare incident of bullying effectively. Leaders’ provision for supporting pupils’ personal development is first rate. Pupils very much enjoy the many enrichment activities on offer. These include gardening and cooking clubs as well as special days, such as for careers education, for example. Staff also plan regular ‘science challenges’, which aim to inspire pupils to achieve excellence. Parents and carers are very positive about the school. They value the work of leaders and staff, and the shared school ethos.
