Pupils love being part of the ‘Folly Hill family’. They thrive at this highly inclusive school. The school has very high expectations of pupils, who strive to meet them. Pupils achieve exceptionally well and benefit hugely from the warm and respectful relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils’ behaviour is exemplary. They focus on their learning for sustained periods of time. Pupils consistently show kindness and consideration towards each other and adults. From the time they start in Reception, children are taught how to focus on their learning and think flexibly. They ask for help if they have any worries. Skilled staff ensure that pupils think about the feelings behind their behaviour so that they can self-regulate effectively. Consequently, pupils feel safe and very happy. Pupils embrace roles of responsibility and make meaningful contributions to the school community, for example by becoming play leaders or school councillors. Pupils are proud of their roles because they understand the value of helping others. Pupils know that their views contribute to making their school a better place. They share their views and opinions with staff to bring about change, such as raising awareness of what bullying is.
