Pupils at St Mary’s Church of England Primary School are happy to come to school. They appreciate the high levels of nurture and care that they receive from staff. Pupils share that staff make them feel ‘so safe’. They value the links that they have with the church and know that it is important to treat people with kindness and respect. Pupils demonstrate this in their behaviour, both in lessons and at social times. They say that bullying can happen but trust adults to deal with any incidents quickly. Pupils love to learn. They show enthusiasm in lessons. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) thrive. One pupil, who reflected the views of many, said, ‘I would proudly go into assembly and talk about my learning.’ This is because staff support all pupils to become confident learners. Some pupils have responsibilities within the school, such as head girl and boy, school council and ‘EcoKids’. They take these roles seriously. For example, members of the school council plan events to raise money for charities, including sponsoring children in other countries. Pupils, along with parents and carers, share that they would like a wider range of extra-curricular clubs and opportunities, which have been hampered by COVID-19.
