Staff have high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. They expect pupils to ‘be ready, be respectful, be safe’. These consistent practices, coupled with supportive relationships, result in calm and orderly classrooms. Pupils embody the school’s values by showing curiosity and pride when learning. They treat one another with kindness. The school responds to the needs of its changing cohort. The curriculum supports disadvantaged pupils, including with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. Pupils learn about the local environment and expand their horizons by learning about the wider world. For example, pupils learn about the history of farming in their locality in the context of changes to global farming. The school ensures that pupils have a thorough understanding of online and offline risks. Before each school holiday, there is an increased focus on internet safety to keep pupils safe when they access their devices at home. Many pupils attend the extensive range of extra-curricular activities the school offers. For example, they enjoy chess, football and computer coding clubs. Staff develop a love of music in pupils. They encourage pupils to sing to support their performance skills and their mental health. Every pupil has an opportunity to learn to play an instrument. For example, the school offers cornet lessons to support the continuation of the local brass band.
