Pupils enjoy attending this friendly and welcoming school. They are happy and safe. Pupils are polite, well-mannered and courteous towards each other and adults. For example, pupils need no prompting to hold doors open for visitors or ask them how their day is going. There is a clear approach to behaviour which is understood by pupils and staff. This is most effective when it is followed by staff across the school. The school has high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work hard to meet these aspirations. This begins in the Reception Year where children get off to a flying start. Pupils build on this as they progress through school. By the time they reach Year 6, most pupils achieve well and are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils enjoy trips and visits to museums, galleries and theatres. These are carefully planned and link well to pupils’ learning. Pupils’ talents and interests are fostered well by staff. Pupils enjoy many clubs and activities such as karate, art and choir. They take part in sporting competitions against other local teams and are proud of their achievements.
