Pupils are happy to belong to this supportive school community. They benefit from positive and encouraging relationships with each other and with the staff. Playtimes are a joyful experience for many pupils. The caring staff who play alongside the pupils help them to organise games and make lots of friends. Pupils are keen to talk about the importance of being kind. They understand school rules of ‘Be Respectful, Be Responsible and Be Safe’. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), behave well. Although teachers make lessons interesting for pupils, leaders have not clarified their expectations of what pupils should learn in some subjects. As a result, in some subjects, they do not achieve as well as they should. Pupils told inspectors that they would feel comfortable speaking to any member of staff if they had any worries, including about bullying. Pupils have every confidence that staff would sort out any problems properly. This helps them to feel safe. By carrying out important roles such as school councillors, eco-councillors or buddies, pupils learn how to make a positive difference in their school and their community. Pupils participate well in the wide range of clubs on offer in order to pursue their talents and interests, including sports and the arts.
