Pupils enjoy learning and they engage well in lessons. There is a buzz of activity in early years. Children are confident in choosing creative activities and drawing on their imagination. They take pride in making bird houses and dens. There is a high level of purposeful conversation led by adults. Pupils respond to the high expectations of behaviour set by staff. They understand the new behaviour system based on restorative practice. Pupils are keen to receive the praise and rewards given for positive behaviour. Pupils are encouraged to be leaders. The school council actively promotes better parking and a reduction in cars speeding near the school. Their campaign has influenced the local council, which is now consulting on the introduction of traffic calming measures. Pupils have many opportunities to develop spiritually. They lead worship, contributing to Celebration of the Word and whole-school mass every half term. Pupils enjoy sharing their thoughts and prayers with parents and carers, especially during Holy Week.
