Leaders have high expectations for every pupil. Pupils are happy and safe. They generally behave well. They work well together at breaktimes, for example building dens and playing team games. Adults help to sort out any incidents of bullying that may occur. Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education encourages pupils to keep themselves safe. Pupils are taught to manage their feelings and to understand positive and healthy relationships, including different types of families, in an ageappropriate way. Pupils take on responsibilities, for example as school councillors. They are taught about fundamental British values and different faiths through assemblies and outings to the local area. The school’s subject plans map out what knowledge pupils need to know in different year groups. Occasionally, teaching does not help pupils to remember long term the content they have been taught and to understand and remember new knowledge. The school has experienced an unsettled period. In addition to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the school has also been through a period of changes in staffing arrangements and leadership responsibilities.
