Pupils told us that they love coming to this school. They enjoy everything about it. From lessons to trips out, to learning about their own and others’ religions, they find everything interesting. Pupils say that lessons are fun. Teachers make learning exciting and stimulating. They give pupils experiences that set them up for life. Pupils achieve well in English, mathematics and science. They do not do as well in a few of the other subjects. Pupils talk eagerly about the opportunities that build their character. In one example, pupils have been campaigning to get speed bumps on Green Lane. They have met with the leader of the council and plan to meet the local MP soon. Teachers encourage all pupils to be their best. As well as aiming for academic excellence, pupils aim to become strong British Muslim citizens. They learn to give as much back to the community as they take from it. They respect other cultures and are proud of their own. It is pupils’ capacity for empathy, hard work, laughter and ambition that singles them out. Pupils behave extremely well. Little time is lost in lessons because interruptions are minor. Teachers’ high expectations set the tone and pupils rise to the challenge. Pupils say that teachers deal with any bullying quickly. That is why bullying is unusual. Pupils told us that they always feel safe in school.
