Pupils are proud of their close-knit community. They value opportunities to deepen their faith. Pupils enjoy leading worship, visiting the temple and joining in with daily singing. They apply religious teachings and make the right behaviour choices. Pupils are taught about other religions and cultures, so also have a sound grasp of wider society. Pupils are expected to work hard academically. They enjoy the variety of subjects they learn about. Pupils study a curriculum that prepares them well for life in modern Britain, while also knowing the traditions of their beliefs, such as studying Sanskrit. Most pupils achieve well by the time they leave for secondary school. Children in the early years settle in quickly and are well cared for by a dedicated team. However, some children in early years are not making as much progress from their starting points as they should. Pupils take an active part in school life, such as through elections to the school council. Some produce a pupil newsletter. Others are reading ambassadors. Pupils perform at festivals, go on a range of educational visits and take part in clubs, such as yoga, crochet and sports.
