Pupils come to school happy and eager to learn. The school has high expectations of their achievement. Pupils live up to these expectations. They talk enthusiastically about the subjects they study, such as about electricity in science and how different religions celebrate new year. Pupils behave well. They are polite and friendly. They learn how to demonstrate gratitude to others, such as by writing ‘thank you notes’ which are shared in assemblies. Pupils develop an understanding of teamwork by earning reward ‘buttons’ for their class. Pupils and staff enjoy warm, respectful relationships with each other. Pupils are active contributors to the school and wider community. They take on roles, such as becoming ‘buddies’ for younger pupils, librarians or ‘worship leaders.’ Pupils make posters to promote litter-picking and traffic safety in the local village. They help take care of their local community woodland. These projects help pupils to learn about civic duty. Pupils understand the importance of appreciating and celebrating difference in others. They learn about spirituality and how people of different faiths pray, for example. The school hymn, ‘all are welcome,’ has been chosen to reflect the school’s inclusive philosophy. Pupils know that any form of prejudice should be challenged.
