School Description

Pupils thrive at this school. They are confident that it is a safe place where staff know them well and help them to learn successfully. Leaders and teachers have high expectations of pupils. Leaders have made changes for the better. That is why, on the whole, standards have improved, particularly in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils work hard. They find their learning interesting and they are keen to do well. Teachers ensure that the classroom environments are calm and well organised, to help pupils learn. Behaviour is good. Pupils enjoy warm and good-humoured relationships with staff and each other. Barely anyone talks about bullying because it is so rare. Leaders tackle any potential problems quickly. Parents are very positive about the school. They particularly value the wide range of opportunities offered to their children. These are offered both in school and, for example, through the many sporting tournaments, cultural experiences and links with the community. As they move up through the school, pupils are helped to grow in confidence. They are polite, engaging and articulate. This equips them well to move on successfully to the next stage of their education.
