There is a warm and inclusive welcome at Lillington Primary School. Pupils are happy, safe and working hard. Teachers have high expectations of what pupils can achieve and pupils try their best to meet these. Pupils know and understand the school values well and become ‘values champions’ as a reward for living them. Values including kindness, honesty and respect are woven into the fabric of school life. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They are polite and friendly. When some struggle to behave due to their additional needs, staff support them kindly and skilfully. Pupils speak positively about the school’s behaviour policy and about how much behaviour has improved because of it. They know to ‘stop, walk and talk’ if another pupil were to upset them. The school has been on a significant journey over recent years. When the predecessor school was inspected, there were many weaknesses. Pupils, staff, parents, carers and governors alike commented on how much the school has changed and improved.
