This is a safe and caring place to learn. Pupils are proud of the school. They are eager and happy to start their day. The school has high aspirations for all children to achieve well. Pupils rise to these expectations. Pupils behave well. They conduct themselves in a ‘CALM’ way. Pupils understand ‘CALM’ to mean ‘communicating calmly and politely, acting kindly, listening carefully and moving slowly and safely inside the school’. Social times are joyful occasions where pupils enjoy playing with their friends. Staff model and encourage high-quality play and interactions. Children in the early years learn the importance of sharing equipment with others. The school’s values enrich pupils’ strength of character, such as determination and believing in themselves. They understand that showing ‘honour’ means making sure that ‘all things are done in love’. Pupils use good manners. They are kind to each other. They serve their school and community with pride. For instance, pupils in Year 2 develop their leadership skills as ‘Minster Lights’, which involves taking a key role in assisting in collective worship, providing tours for visitors and being role models to younger pupils. Pupils are suitably prepared for the next phase of their education.
