All members of this school community are encouraged to uphold the vision of ‘Let your light shine’. Pupils talk confidently about the rainbow rules and the fact that their light will shine if they follow these. The supportive environment ensures that pupils feel safe. This is also recognised by parents. One view, representative of many, commented on the ‘caring and nurturing approach’. There are high expectations for how pupils will behave and the manner in which they should treat each other. Staff ensure that these expectations are met by pupils. As a result, pupils’ behaviour is positive. Pupils do not worry about bullying and they are rightly confident that any incidents of unkindness will be dealt with effectively by staff. Pupils proudly talk about how they uphold the six school values of thankfulness, peace, love and compassion, forgiveness, trust and friendship. The curriculum is well designed to meet the needs of all pupils. Pupils are articulate and enthusiastic about their learning. They are able to apply ideas from their learning to other contexts. For example, pupils use their learning about materials in science to build a strong shelter during their forest school activity.
