Pupils love attending this school. Parents and carers spoke of the excitement with which their children approach each day. Pupils arrive at school full of energy and enthusiasm every morning. They relish the many special days and events that take place throughout the year such as fundraising on Jeans for Genes Day, and the school’s recent mathematics and reading weeks. Leaders work with parents before pupils join the school, and they make sure that learning is matched to pupils’ needs and interests. Pupils rapidly develop a sense of belonging at the school. Pupils feel safe, cared for and respected. They form trusting working relationships with the adults in the school who know each pupil well. Staff work with compassion and kindness. They have the highest expectations for each pupil, helping them to problem-solve, become more independent and achieve highly. Pupils leave the school ready for the next phase of their lives after having comprehensive careers education and guidance that recognises their strengths and aspirations. Pupils are kind and considerate towards others. Their behaviour is exceptional. Staff do not tolerate bullying, and they deal with it quickly should it occur.
