Pupils engage positively with their learning. They want to achieve well. They enjoy receiving rewards when they do. They particularly like spending time with the school’s animals as a reward for showing positive attitudes to their learning and to others. Pupils learn that it is important to be kind to each other. They say that, sometimes, others may be unkind to them. However, they know that staff will support them if this happens. Pupils have strong relationships with staff. They say that they can tell staff if they are worried. They are confident that staff will listen to them and help. Pupils have many opportunities to learn how to be independent. For example, they visit the local shops and the library. In school, pupils learn about democracy by voting for the pupil parliament. Older pupils have recently talked about Britain leaving the European Union. Some staff do not check what pupils already know when they learn something new. They do not check that pupils have understood their learning. This can limit how well pupils learn. Pupils say that they feel safe. However, leaders have not made sure that their safeguarding practices and procedures keep all pupils safe.
