Pupils thrive at Four Elms, both in their learning and their personal development. One parent commented, ‘It has been wonderful to see our children flourish as little people.’ Governors, leaders and staff are keen that all pupils should achieve their very best. Teachers make learning enjoyable and pupils learn a lot in lessons. In most subjects, pupils repeatedly practise what they are learning so that they remember it. Pupils behave extremely well throughout the school day. Pupils of all ages get on harmoniously with each other. High levels of respect underpin all relationships. Pupils told us that staff deal with any poor behaviour, although this occurs rarely. Bullying is also very rare. Staff ensure that pupils are safe. Pupils enjoy a wide range of after-school clubs, some run by parents. These clubs are very well attended, particularly the ones for sporting activities. The school benefits from its membership of the Inspire Federation. Expertise and support are helpfully shared across both schools. This provides extra opportunities for pupils and improves their learning.
