Pupils enjoy coming to school. They treat each other with respect, are well mannered and enjoy offering each other support and guidance. Pupils say that they feel safe in school because the staff care about them. They enjoy their lessons and the wide range of opportunities available to them. For example, they like the clubs after school that change every term. Pupils behave well. They know and follow the rules and routines set out by staff. They play happily together at breaktime and lunchtime. In lessons, pupils are enthusiastic about what they are learning. If bullying does happen, it is dealt with by teachers well and stops quickly. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve academically and personally. They have thought carefully about how to help pupils to succeed in different subjects. Teachers plan learning that captures pupils’ interests. Staff know pupils and their families well, and relationships within the school community are strong. The school promotes a strong, caring and nurturing ethos that many parents praised. One pupil expressed the thoughts of other pupils and parents by saying, ‘Everyone here has a kind heart.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? Leaders have designed a well-organised and ambitious curriculum that meets pupils’ needs. They make sure that the school’s Christian values and pupils’ personal development underpin learning. Leaders have chosen carefully the knowledge that they want pupils to learn each year, right from when pupils join the school in the early years. The curriculum is taught in a logical order. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported in school. Teachers make sure that all pupils are included in the full range of curriculum opportunities.
