Parents, carers and pupils enjoy the vigorous morning fitness sessions alongside staff. Pupils enjoy the residential trips, which develop their independence. Pupils feel safe and secure in school. They say that bullying happens rarely but, when it does, it is dealt with by staff. Pupils take on responsibilities in school, such as becoming play leaders or members of the school council. Pupils enjoy their lessons. Teachers expect them to do their best. Pupils enjoy reading. They choose books weekly to read for pleasure, using the ‘100 book challenge’. Many pupils say that their favourite subject is mathematics. One pupil described mathematics as ‘tough but really satisfying’. This is because school leaders have worked hard to improve the mathematics curriculum. In lessons and outdoors, pupils behave well. They are keen to follow instructions in lessons and cooperate well, even when aspects of the curriculum might not challenge them as much as they might. Outdoors, pupils play games in teams, chat quietly or spend time reading. Parents who responded to Ofsted’s questionnaire are generally happy with the school.
