Leaders have created a warm and welcoming culture. Kindness is at the centre of the school’s ethos. Small class sizes enable staff to provide highly personalised support. As a result, all pupils can thrive in the school. Leaders have extremely high expectations of pupils. This ensures all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve very well. Staff know the pupils well and working relationships are extremely positive. Pupils are hardworking, confident and highly motivated to learn. The development of character is a focus throughout the school. This includes during the daily ‘quickies’ session at the start of each school day and termly presentations all pupils deliver to their class. Pupils’ behaviour during lessons and around the school site is exemplary. They are polite, friendly and happy. Pastoral support in the school is extremely strong and as a result, pupils are safe in school. There are a wide range of clubs and extra activities for pupils to take part in. These include a variety of sports clubs, music groups and chess club. Pupils all take part in regular school performances and also raise money for charity and contribute to the local community. This includes a link with a local hospital which pupils visit to support patients and perform at in the school choir.
