Together, the trust and the school have prioritised the development of the curriculum. They are ambitious for all pupils to be successful. The work on the curriculum ensures there are high expectations in place for pupils to learn well. While leaders have taken steps to improve the quality of education pupils receive, it is still early days. The curriculum does not yet support all pupils to build their knowledge well. Pupils feel safe in school and they are well looked after. The motto 'journeying together in hope and joy' is well understood by pupils. They know this means working together to help each other to succeed. During social times, pupils look after one another and take pleasure in playing together. The school provides many opportunities to promote pupils’ personal development. Pupils benefit from clubs to develop their talents such as music and textiles. Experiences are provided for pupils to socialise with peers in other trust schools. This helps to prepare older pupils for their transition to secondary school. Pupils attend residentials with other schools. Pupils say that this helps them to make new friends and to develop skills such as learning how to surf.
