The school is warm and welcoming. Pupils are courteous and respectful to visitors and to each other. There is a strong anti-bullying culture. Staff have earned pupils’ trust by responding quickly and effectively on the rare occasions where bullying occurs. The trusting relationships between staff and pupils help pupils to feel happy in school. Adults have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour right across the school. On the rare occasions that pupils’ behaviour falls short of the high standards set, staff quickly get pupils back on track. Pupils earn points for their class by demonstrating the school’s values. This approach helps to foster a positive culture. Pupils are keen to live up to the school’s vision of ‘aspiring to be awesome’. Staff are ambitious for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve well. In the main, pupils achieve in line with these high expectations. Children in the early years get off to a strong start. Most pupils are keen to engage in learning. Pupils are encouraged to take on leadership roles, including joining the school council. Some older pupils are reading ambassadors. They read with younger children and promote a love of reading across school. These opportunities help pupils to develop into confident individuals.
