Pupils are proud to be part of this school, which is at the heart of the local community. They like coming to school because teachers are willing to help if learning becomes difficult. Pupils feel safe because leaders and staff listen if they have a problem. Bullying is very rare. Staff resolve any differences and fallings-out quickly. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Pupils behave well and know the code of conduct well. They are polite to adults and to each other. In lessons, pupils are enthusiastic to learn. At lunchtime, they socialise well with each other. Pupils from Years 5 and 6 act as mentors for younger pupils willingly and confidently. Staff are determined that all pupils will succeed, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils respond well to the strong and consistent teaching they receive. However, some recent curriculum changes to help pupils know and remember more are not fully embedded. Pupils enjoy the many enrichment opportunities available to them. Older pupils appreciate the many leadership opportunities, such as those of librarians and sports helpers, that are on offer to them. There is a wide range of after-school sports and activities clubs for pupils to join.
