Pupils are proud to attend this small, caring school. They know leaders have high ambitions for them. Pupils enjoy the celebration of their work and recognition when they go ‘over and above’. Some pupils join the school at different points in their education. They say the school is welcoming and friendly. Leaders have recently raised the expectations in behaviour. Older pupils take leadership roles, such as play leaders. This is bringing more structure to breaktime. However, in lessons, the expectations are not always consistently applied. This means some pupils behave in a way that hinders the learning of others. Pupils like and understand the new three school rules to ‘respect yourself, each other and the environment’. Older pupils say the school has improved with these rules. Pupils learn about kindness and tolerance. Pupils are respectful towards one another. Older pupils help younger pupils to navigate friendships. Leaders are ambitious for pupils to have a wide range of experiences. To support learning, leaders plan visitors and trips. Staff run a range of after-school clubs, such as arts and crafts, boxercise or coding. They change activities regularly and offer a variety of interests. Pupils enjoy the clubs. They are well attended.
