School Description

Relationships between all members of the school community are good. The school is calm and well ordered. Pupils say they feel safe in school. Pupils say behaviour is much better than it was. They trust adults to sort out poor behaviour when it happens. Adults deal with the few incidences of bullying thoroughly. They get to the root cause of poor behaviour and provide support to resolve it. Pupils enjoy school. New starters say it is easy to make friends and that there is a wide range of interesting lessons. For example, pupils learned how to light a fire using a flint, like people in the Stone Age. Pupils are encouraged to lead a healthy lifestyle because life under national lockdowns meant they were less active. Each class takes part in daily activity. Pupils like using the outdoor gym at playtimes. The varied range of school clubs has been disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. They are usually well attended. Pupils also learn to play musical instruments. Leaders know that there are weaknesses in how some parts of the curriculum are planned and taught. They are working hard to make sure this improves. Adults support pupils and families very well, especially when they need help. Adults work closely with different agencies. They make sure families get the right support so pupils can come to school regularly and enjoy learning.
