Pupils eagerly come to school each day. This school is ambitious for all pupils to do well and achieve their best. Adults set clear expectations for learning. Most pupils rise well to these expectations. They work hard in lessons and achieve well. Staff provide a warm and nurturing environment where pupils treat each other empathetically. Pupils understand the school’s values of independence, curiosity and respect. They show kindness in the way they speak to each other. Staff recognise when pupils display the school’s values and celebrate this. Pupils build confidence by sharing their achievements in the weekly celebration assemblies and kindness awards. Pupils feel safe and behave well at this school. Leadership roles, such as those of playground pals and house captains, help pupils to understand responsibility and how to communicate effectively with each other. Pupils enjoy learning about different cultures. For example, they visit and learn about Sikhism at the local gurdwara. Pupils appreciate the extra opportunities to develop their understanding of the world around them, such as visits to the Natural History Museum and Thames Valley Adventure Playground.
