Pupils are proud of their school. They are confident and keen to share their thoughts and ideas. When describing the school, pupils say it is a welcoming place where bullying is rare. One pupil commented that ‘seasons come and go, but here friendship stays forever.’ While they enjoy learning, pupils do not reach their full potential. This is because the reading curriculum is neither well sequenced nor taught well enough. Across the rest of the curriculum, pupils are developing their understanding. Trips, such as a visit to Bristol Museum to learn about ancient civilisations, enhance pupils’ learning. Adults foster warm, nurturing relationships with pupils. This means pupils feel safe and well cared for. However, the expectations of pupils’ behaviours for learning are not consistently high. Adults do not always address disruption, such as calling out, in lessons. Learning is interrupted. As a result, pupils are not able to learn as well as they should. Parents value the opportunities their children have to ‘embrace the outdoors and learn how to look after their world’. Activities, including forest school, gardening and looking after the school chickens, help pupils to develop a sense of responsibility.
