Pupils enjoy coming to school at St Philip Neri. Staff interact positively with pupils and get to know them and their families well. The school is ambitious that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) will achieve well. As a result, classrooms are purposeful, inclusive places where pupils from a range of backgrounds achieve increasingly well. Pupils respond positively to praise and are keen to collect house points. The ‘St Philip Neri Way’ is a new initiative which sets expectations for how pupils should move around the building and behave. Pupils are proud to meet the high expectations the school sets for their behaviour. They are positive about learning. Pupils enjoy the range of clubs available. Leadership opportunities, such as well-being ambassadors, eco-warriors and being a buddy to younger pupils, enable pupils to make meaningful contributions to the school community. Pupils also carry out wider-community work such as collecting food for local food banks. Pupils learn how to stay safe, including online, and how to keep themselves healthy. They appreciate the trips and visitors that help bring learning to life.
