Horncastle Primary School is an inclusive and welcoming school. Pupils enjoy their learning. The school provides a range of opportunities that help pupils to develop their understanding of ‘a world beyond Horncastle’. Pupils, staff, parents and carers say that it is a caring and friendly place to learn with a family feel. As one parent, typical of many, said, ‘I love the school. I like the care and attention the teachers give to my child and myself.’ The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve their full potential, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, most pupils build their knowledge across a range of subjects. Pupils were eager to share their learning with inspectors. They said that they enjoy learning new things each day and developing their independence using the school’s ‘5 Bs’ system. Pupils behave well because they want to do ‘the right thing’. Pupils say that they feel safe. They know that they have trusted adults to talk to and use the worry boxes or ‘friendship stops’ if they have any concerns. Pupils say that when they occasionally ‘fall out’ it is resolved very quickly.
