Pupils are safe at Two Village CofE Primary School. They are friendly and welcoming to visitors. They form strong relationships with the adults who work with them. Pupils trust staff to help them to sort out any friendship issues, including bullying. Pupils say bullying happens, but not often. Leaders have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and achievement. However, these are not always communicated well by all staff. As a result, some pupils do not show enough respect to each other, or to adults. While many pupils achieve well, some adults’ low expectations mean that others do not make as much progress as they should. There are a range of opportunities for pupils to flourish outside the classroom. Pupils appreciate extra-curricular clubs, such as dance, musical theatre and mindfulness. Trips to Colchester Castle and the seaside broaden pupils’ horizons. A residential trip for Year 6 pupils builds their independence. Pupils can become learning ambassadors, school councillors and play leaders. These roles develop pupils’ leadership skills and involve them in the wider life of the school. There have been many changes in staffing and leadership at the school. Pupils have shown resilience and coped well with these. They play and learn happily most of the time.
