Leaders’ knowledge of statutory safeguarding guidance is not strong enough. They have not ensured that the school’s safeguarding arrangements are effective. Staff care for pupils’ well-being and are vigilant to concerns. However, weaknesses in record-keeping mean that leaders do not have a clear picture of pupils’ needs and when further action is needed to protect their safety. Pupils enjoy school very much. They are proud of it. This is reflected in their high attendance. Pupils are positive about learning. They enjoy talking about the things that they have been taught. They are keen to be the best they can be. The strong ethos of mutual respect and kindness is reflected in the positive relationships that exist throughout the school. Pupils achieve well in reading and mathematics. However, some weaknesses in the curriculum for other subjects affect how much pupils know and remember. Pupils’ behaviour in lessons is good. They are keen to earn ‘green cards’ and other rewards, including the much-loved treats at the start of each month. While bullying is rare, staff sort it out well. Pupils enjoy different visits out and about. They like it when trips link to what they learn in lessons. For example, pupils enjoyed seeing the postal system in action. Pupils are taught about keeping healthy. Leaders have planned a suitable programme of relationships education. However, the programme is new, and the way in which it is taught does not fully support pupils’ understanding of important knowledge.
