School Description

Pupils love their new and ‘kind’ school. Older pupils show a maturity beyond their years as they forge the pathway that others will follow. They have enquiring minds and enjoy learning ‘great new things’. Pupils are reflective. One told the lead inspector that he wanted to improve himself by being ‘more principled and caring’. When quizzed, it was clear that he fully understood what this laudable aspiration meant. Pupils behave well here. They know what is expected of them. They know the rules and are disappointed when they are broken. They told inspectors that they feel safe, including from bullying. New pupils say that they feel the school is welcoming and accepting. Discussions with pupils revealed that they are equally proud of their school and of their work. Classroom visits showed that a strong learning culture has been established over a relatively short period of time. Children in early years are encouraged to be inquisitive and to see themselves as learners from the start. They love working together to solve problems and were very enthusiastic when recalling making ‘moving dragons’ linked to their enquiry about Chinese New Year.
