Pupils at Valewood Primary School love their school and are proud to be members of this learning community. They describe their school as ‘inclusive’ and ‘amazing’. They are encouraged to bring out the best in each other. Leaders’ high aspirations for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are embraced by all. Pupils rise to leaders’ expectations. They achieve well. Pupils, including children in the early years, learn to recognise their emotions and how they impact on their behaviours. As a result, pupils learn self-control. They understand how their behaviour can impact on others. Pupils show empathy and kindness towards each other. Pupils are confident that staff will listen to any anxieties or concerns they may have. Leaders deal with bullying swiftly and effectively. Consequently, pupils feel safe and happy in school. Parents appreciate the support they and their children receive. They say that ‘nothing is too much trouble’ for staff to do to make their children feel valued and included. Pupils embrace the opportunities that leaders provide to enable them to take an active part in supporting others in school, such as the well-being and attendance committees.
