Pupils enjoy coming to this friendly school. They like the fact that the school is small. They said that this gives the school ‘a family feel’. Pupils are polite and get on well with each other. There are strong working relationships between staff and pupils. Leaders and staff focus on improving pupils’ emotional development and self-confidence. Pupils are well cared for and feel safe. Most pupils are well behaved and have good attitudes. A few pupils sometimes struggle to manage their own behaviour. This occasionally gets in the way of pupils’ learning. Although staff are quick to deal with any incidents of poor behaviour or bullying, a few pupils need further support. The curriculum is broad. It prepares all pupils well for life in modern Britain. Pupils take part in a range of trips, visits and sporting activities. They play different musical instruments, have dancing lessons and learn to swim. The annual production provides a further opportunity for pupils to develop their artistic talents. Leaders and staff have high expectations. This, together with strong pastoral support, enables pupils to achieve well. Regular meetings for parents and carers help them to support their children’s learning at home. Most parents would recommend this school to others.
