Pupils are proud and happy to attend this school where they feel happy and safe. They care for each other and know there are adults in school they can talk to if they have a problem. However, leaders have not ensured that there are effective systems for keeping children safe. When teachers have concerns about pupils’ welfare, these are not recorded as they should be. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning in a wide range of subjects. They particularly enjoy opportunities to learn outdoors. Pupils benefit from a wide range of clubs which helps them to develop their individual talents. These clubs are well attended and include dance, choir, hockey, drawing and yoga. Pupils talk with excitement about educational visits such as a memorable trip to the Titanic Museum. Pupils describe their school as one where ‘everyone is kind and respectful to each other’. The vast majority of pupils behave well. They say that bullying is very rare and dealt with effectively by teachers if it does happen. Many parents told us how happy their children were at school. One parent said, ‘St Laurence is a positive and friendly place for my child to grow.’
