Pupils are happy and enjoy attending this caring and inclusive school. Pupils live the Christian values of the school and show tolerance and respect for each other. They are polite, and welcome visitors. They feel safe and know that they can raise any concerns with staff or via the ‘worry monsters’ in each classroom. Pupils are learning increasingly well in the early years. The school has prioritised early reading and mathematics and pupils build important knowledge in these areas. However, pupils’ knowledge in other areas of the curriculum is less securely developed. In addition, some pupils are not developing their reading fluency as well as they could. Pupils are attentive in lessons and follow clearly set routines. They behave well and require minimal supervision. They enjoy extra-curricular activities such as football, science club, nature club and badminton. Pupils receive opportunities to broaden their experience and to connect with the wider community. For example, pupils in the school choir visit Lindum Court care home and sing for the residents. Children in early years develop their social and motor skills through den building and clay modelling as part of a forest school day.
