The school’s motto of ‘small school, one big family,’ is reflected in the warm support of families and the caring relationships that pupils have with staff. Pupils are polite and welcoming to visitors. They learn about fundamental British values such as democracy and tolerance. They reflect these values in how they behave. Pupils are respectful towards one another and take turns. As a result, the school is calm. School leaders are ambitious for all pupils. However, at times, the implementation of the planned curriculum does not always match the ambitious vision of school leaders. This means that pupils do not do as well as they could. The school develops pupils’ interests and skills through extra-curricular clubs such as forest school club and physical education club. Pupils enjoy participating in sports tournaments with other local schools. ‘Stop the clock days,’ help to deepen pupils’ understanding of cultural celebrations, such as Diwali. All pupils have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. Older pupils understand they are role models to younger pupils. They do their best to behave well in order to set an example. Pupils know how to keep themselves safe online.
