Pupils are keen to come to school each day. They arrive early and attend exceptionally well. Pupils are happy and safe at school. Teachers have high expectations of pupils’ achievement in English and mathematics. Teaching does not have equally high expectations in other subjects. As a result, pupils do not have the opportunity to develop depth of knowledge in all curriculum areas. In early years, children learn successfully across different areas of learning. Typically, pupils have strong attitudes to learning. Staff encourage the school values to prioritise tolerance, respect and patience. Pupils practise these through strong working relationships with their peers and staff. Pupils can speak to a trusted adult if they have any concerns. They value the school’s ‘house’ system. This encourages pupils to develop a healthy spirit of competition. Each week, they accumulate points for good work, behaviour and attendance. Pupils get certificates for being reader, mathematician, Qur’an reader or Arabic student of the week. They are excited about participating in regular spelling and times tables competitions. Pupils enjoy having a say in the running of their school. As members of the school council, pupils have responsibilities. Some help to maintain the school environment. Others are internet safety councillors.
