Pupils enjoy school a great deal. They are keen to learn new things and set about their work with zeal. Pupils’ positive attitudes hold them in good stead and they achieve well in their studies. Pupils value the way that the school helps them to be good citizens. They are respectful and tolerant of others, and make friends easily. The curriculum is suitably broad, but some subjects are not as well designed as others. The emphasis on reading, writing and mathematics helps pupils to access other subjects such as science, humanities and relationships education. Pupils achieve well and work is underway to improve the curriculum further. Children in the early years get off to a flying start. They develop strong language, number and physical skills, and learn how to manage their emotions appropriately. As a result, children are very well prepared for moving into Year 1. Pupils’ behaviour is particularly strong. They respond very positively to the school’s high expectations, and to its calm and respectful culture. Lessons are rarely disrupted, helping to ensure that the most is made of lesson time for learning. Bullying is uncommon. If it does happen, pupils are confident that the school nips any problems in the bud.
