Pupils are very proud to attend Upper Arley CofE Primary School. There is a real community feeling. The school’s vision, ‘One community, learning and growing together, sharing God’s love’, is threaded through the entire curriculum. The school has high expectations for the achievement of all pupils. Pupils have a real love of learning. They benefit from a well-thought-out curriculum. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well alongside their peers. Pupils’ behaviour is exceptional. They model the school’s values in all that they do, for example by showing compassion to one another. They show high levels of respect and care for each other and staff. Pupils benefit from a vast array of experiences, such as visits to an outdoor activity centre and a wide choice of clubs. They thrive through many opportunities to develop their leadership skills. For example, pupils flourish in their roles as sports ambassadors, who are trained to lead games at break and lunchtimes. Pupils who act as reading ambassadors take their roles seriously by recommending books for others to read. Pupils make a tangible contribution to the life of the school. They have been instrumental in designing the ‘Learning Superheroes’ to promote key learning characteristics.
