School Description

A warm welcome from staff in the morning and adults’ establishment of clear routines ensure that pupils are ready for the day. Pupils learn and live up to the ‘Colnbrook way’ of being ‘ready, safe and kind’. They thrive on the positive relationships they form with others and settle quickly into school life. Pupils enjoy the opportunities on offer. They love learning in the outdoor areas and get great joy from reading to the school dog, ‘Duggee’. In this kind and friendly school, bullying and disagreements are very unusual. Nevertheless, if they do happen, adults quickly put things right. Adults provide exceptional support that helps pupils to deal well with social situations and handle tricky emotions. Pupils can communicate with each other and with adults about how they are feeling. They are safe and looked after well. The personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE) curriculum is central to the school’s success and permeates each part of provision. Every interaction is a learning opportunity for pupils to, for example, understand how to be good friends, explore a new language or know how to keep safe online. Pupils learn about how others are different from themselves. For instance, assemblies bring the school community together to celebrate each other’s differences and similarities.
