Pupils thrive in this happy and welcoming school. They arrive at the start of the day with broad smiles. The school’s values are consistently modelled by staff, creating an ethos of kindness and care. This helps pupils to feel safe and accepted. Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. They understand the school rules and relish the praise and rewards that they receive for working hard and trying their best. Pupils are polite and respectful. They have remarkably positive attitudes towards learning. The school is a calm and harmonious place in which to learn and play. The curriculum reflects the high aspirations that leaders have for all pupils to grow and develop their own individual character. It is thoughtfully designed to match pupils’ interests and needs. Pupils succeed in their learning, and they achieve well. The school has designed a personal development programme that supports pupils to be tolerant and respect people with different beliefs and values. Pupils develop their understanding of the wider world through a broad range of clubs, trips and experiences, including visits to the Houses of Parliament and museums. However, the school does not ensure that pupils have a depth of understanding of all aspects of life in modern Britain.
