Pupils rightly value the many opportunities available to them at The Chalfonts. They enjoy learning together. They told us, ‘We have a joke, but we know when to take things seriously, we listen to each other’s opinions.’ Staff want the very best for their pupils. They know pupils very well and make sure that pupils get the right help to be successful. Aspirations and expectations of learning and behaviour are high. Pupils thrive on this and are inspired by the challenges they are given. Pupils achieve well academically. Classrooms are industrious places. Pupils’ behaviour and attitudes to their work and each other are excellent. Pupils feel secure. They know that their opinions are valued. They are encouraged to express their views and build on their ideas. Pupils know that any hint of bullying or unacceptable behaviour will be challenged by staff and will not be tolerated. Their personal development is planned for well because of the importance attached to this by leaders and the dedication of staff. Parents and carers are very supportive. All parents who completed our survey recommended the school.
