Pupils are proud to be part of this small school family. They are polite, friendly and respectful. Pupils look after one another and make sure that everyone is included in school life. Pupils are kind and tolerant. They say that it is wrong to make fun of people who are different. ‘Everyone is special, and it would not be nice if we were all the same’, is a typical comment from pupils. Leaders and teachers have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Lessons are rarely disrupted, because pupils are keen to learn. Leaders deal with bullying and namecalling effectively. This helps pupils to feel safe and happy. Pupils participate in a range of interesting trips and visits. For example, they visit an outdoor learning centre, a museum and a local castle. This supports them in building character and developing a sense of time and place. Pupils know that teachers always expect them to do their best in class. They take pride in their work, and it is usually neat and tidy. Leaders make sure that pupils who find learning difficult, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), receive effective support. Pupils achieve well.
