Pupils flourish in this highly inclusive school. They view the school as a ‘family’ where everyone knows each other well. Pupils are happy, and they attend well. The school’s values are at the heart of this close community. Pupils reflect these strongly through their considerate conduct around school. They champion friendship and help each other whenever they can. Across the school, pupils relish learning. In lessons, they willingly share ideas and purposefully complete learning activities. Pupils respond positively to the encouragement and praise given by staff. This helps them develop confidence in tackling learning when it is tricky. Pupils benefit from the warm relationships they share with staff and are comfortable about sharing any worries with them. They are confident these will be addressed. Pupils contribute widely to the school. Their efforts and successes are rewarded through the eagerly anticipated ‘Star of the Week’ and ‘Values’ awards. Through the school council, pupils share and collectively shape ideas for changes to the school. They take pride in seeing their ideas, such as the ‘Secret Wood’, come to life. This ethos of togetherness and participation supports pupils in feeling valued.
