Pupils enjoy coming to school and do so regularly. They form strong friendships with peers and regard the support they get from staff very highly. Pupils are respectful to others and make a strong contribution to the calm but purposeful nature of the school. Pupils love learning and achieve well. They rise to the high expectations that staff have of their behaviour and achievement. Pupils told inspectors that they feel very safe in school. They know that they can speak with any member of staff if they are worried about anything. Pupils told inspectors that bullying rarely happens. If it does happen, staff deal with it immediately. Pupils are upstanding and active citizens. They know that their views are valued and heard. Recently, members of the school council successfully lobbied leaders for new play equipment and hot lunches. They also worked successfully with leaders to ‘rebrand’ the school uniform. Pupils live the school’s motto, which is, ‘respect, educate and achieve’. This is evident in their conscientious behaviour and attitude to learning. Pupils collect funds for various charities and the local food bank. They recently raised money to pay for a water well, which was installed in a village in Sri Lanka.
