Leaders have created a calm environment in the school that enables pupils to flourish. Pupils are happy coming to school. Parents told the inspectors that the school has transformed their lives. Leaders’ attention to pupils’ emotional needs underpins everything that they do. Pupils benefit from strong, caring and patient relationships with staff who know them well. Pupils said that they feel safe in school. Leaders skilfully bring pupils to the point where they are ready to learn and expect them to do their best. Over time, pupils’ self-esteem increases. They believe in themselves. However, leaders have not designed a suitably ambitious and broad curriculum that covers all subjects. This means that pupils do not achieve as well as they should across a range of subjects. Leaders have the highest expectations of behaviour for all pupils. Pupils rise to these expectations. Leaders are quick to respond to and deal with friendship and bullying issues. Pupils know that they can turn to a trusted adult if they are worried about something. Pupils benefit from different opportunities to practise their social and communication skills. At lunchtime, they engage in social games with their peers. They enjoy building campfires in the woodland area. Pupils are offered roles of responsibility such as the ‘A Team’ or school councillors. They enjoy contributing to decision-making in school. Many pupils take part in singing club and perform for their classmates. Children in the early years make effective use of the playground equipment to develop their gross-motor skills.
