This small, nurturing school has a strong sense of community. The school helps pupils learn to be kind-hearted and thoughtful citizens. Pupils organise fundraising events and complete projects to support local charities. Pupils in Year 6 who are prefects help the youngest children to settle into school life. One parent echoed the views of many when they said: ‘The school encourages children to grow, learn and thrive.’ Pupils at the school study a full complement of national curriculum subjects as well as Islamic religious studies and Arabic. The school has invested in new resources across curriculum areas in recent years. This has increased the ambition of the curriculum. Pupils have positive attitudes to their learning. They work hard in lessons and listen to their teachers. By the time they leave the school in Year 6, pupils achieve well and are ready for secondary school. The school offers an exceptional range of extra-curricular clubs and opportunities. Weekly clubs include public speaking, kickboxing, engineering and calligraphy. Pupils learn about a range of cultures and faiths different to their own, encouraging a culture of respect. They learn about fundamental British values, such as democracy. Educational visits, including to the Houses of Parliament, help to bring their learning to life.
