Pupils are polite, well mannered and respectful. Staff create a caring and supportive learning environment. Pupils have warm, trusting relationships with adults and they feel safe in school. They behave well. Typically, within lessons, pupils concentrate on their learning. When outside on the playground, they play games together harmoniously. Everyone is made to feel a part of this small school community. Pupils are proud to take on additional responsibilities in school. They are excited to be part of the school council, so that they can think about how to make improvements to the school. Other pupils become ‘junior safety officers’. They support teachers to improve pupils’ understanding about how to stay safe, including when they are online. The school wants the very best for pupils. Recently, the school has made some swift improvements to the curriculum that pupils receive. For example, it is clearer what the key knowledge is that pupils need to know. However, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) at times do not receive effective support to access the curriculum on offer. Furthermore, in some curriculum subjects, pupils’ achievement is not as strong as it could be.
