Pupils are proud of their school. They feel safe and happy. Pupils are kind and polite to others. They know there is always an adult they can talk to if they feel worried or upset. One pupil said, ‘We don’t let big worries grow in our head because they can easily make us sad.’ Pupils say bullying is not a problem. If it happens, adults deal with it quickly. Pupils spoke with enthusiasm about the extra-curricular opportunities they experience. They enjoy school trips to the local river, sports tournaments in the community and after-school clubs, such as multi sports, drama and French. Pupils relish taking on positions of responsibility, such as being a member of the pupil parliament and the environment team. Playtimes are sociable occasions. Pupils look forward to catching up with their friends in the well-equipped outdoor gym or the busy mud kitchen. Leaders want the best for all pupils and know what improvements are needed to the curriculum to help pupils to flourish and succeed. The acting headteachers, trustees and governors are determined to raise expectations for all pupils, which are not yet consistently high enough. Consequently, pupils do not learn as well as they should.
