Without exception, the pupils we spoke with told us that the best things about school are the learning, teachers and their friends. Pupils also said that they like the school’s small size, which makes them feel safe and cared for. Pupils are adamant that there is no bullying and told us that behaviour in lessons is usually good. Pupils enjoy taking part in various physical activities and games such as ‘boxercise’ and dodge ball. They regularly participate in extra-curricular activities and enjoy singing, archery and playing chess. Pupils perform well in competitive sports and have won awards for their sporting achievements in football and netball. Pupils relish school visits, including to the historic town of Burwardsley. Most pupils participate in residential learning where they take part in team-building activities. Key stage 2 pupils excitedly told us about their recent science night in Widnes Catalyst Museum. Pupils love the outdoors and are knowledgeable about the plants, birds and insects they see when exploring the forest near the school. Pupils play various musical instruments, including the clarinet, flute and violin. Pupils are charitable and empathetic. They raise funds for various good causes, including local food banks and charities that support people affected by domestic abuse.
