Pupils wear the school’s values, known as ‘REACH’ (respect, engage, aspire, collaborate and hope), proudly on their jumpers. They know what these mean and live by them. For example, pupils show great respect and kindness when they hear each other read as part of the school’s ‘reading buddy’ scheme. Pupils also like to play and build dens in the garden and wooded areas, including children from the Reception Year. These provide high-quality opportunities for pupils to learn about themselves, relationships and the world around them. Pupils feel safe. They told us that bullying is never tolerated and is dealt with swiftly. Pupils and adults work harmoniously in a peaceful environment, for the benefit of all. Children get off to a strong start in the Reception Year. They behave well, often helping each other and being a source of encouragement. Pupils continue to have positive attitudes to learning throughout the school, which helps them to achieve well. Pupils are keen to join in. They successfully build on prior knowledge and learn relevant skills to establish a strong foundation for the future.
