Pupils are happy and enjoy attending the school because they feel cared for by adults. Pupils say they are not aware of any bullying but know that adults will listen to, and act on, any concerns. They demonstrate respect and kindness to adults and to their peers. Pupils respond well to the school’s high expectations for their learning. They know the school’s mission statement of ‘be the best that you can be’ and show this attitude in their lessons. Pupils say that their teachers make lessons fun and challenging and help them. As a result, most pupils achieve well. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. At lunchtimes and breaktimes, pupils play happily together. Year 6 ‘play leaders’ support younger pupils in their play, through sporting activities such as dodgeball. Pupils’ positive behaviour in their lessons enables them to learn uninterrupted. There is a range of extra-curricular activities, such as gymnastics and football, that pupils can attend. Pupils speak positively about visits, including the Years 4 and 6 residential visits, and a trip to an Anglo-Saxon village that supported their learning in history. These opportunities develop pupils’ confidence effectively.
