The school’s motto, ‘growing together, learning forever’, could not be more appropriate for this new school. The school has focused on developing a family culture, with a big heart. This sense of family is felt strongly by the older pupils who have been part of the school’s growth. They recognise and fulfil their responsibilities as role models. The school has a calm atmosphere, yet buzzes with positive energy. Pupils live up to the high expectations of their behaviour. Pupils enjoy school and attend regularly. As one parent commented, which was typical of many: ‘I feel my child is thriving in a safe and positive environment.’ Pupils are highly respectful. They explore differing points of view with maturity and sensitivity. The school’s key curriculum principles of ‘people, place and point’ are well established. This ensures that pupils develop a strong understanding of tolerance and diversity. Typically, a pupil commented: ‘Even if someone is different you should always respect them equally.’ Central to the school are the values of ‘respect, tolerance, forgiveness and friendship’. The values are lived daily. Pupils deepen their understanding of right and wrong. Anti-bullying ambassadors support pupils when this may be needed.
