School Description

Pupils love coming to this friendly and inclusive school. They enjoy their lessons. They are polite, kind and courteous to each other and adults. They make visitors feel welcome and are keen to share their experiences and work. The school has high expectations for pupils’ behaviour and achievement. Pupils’ behaviour is excellent both in lessons and around school. They demonstrate consistently positive attitudes to their learning. Older pupils successfully model these exemplary behaviours to younger children, such as taking turns and listening to others. This results in younger children showing high levels of self-control too. Adults take pupils’ worries and/or concerns seriously. Leaders actively seek pupils’ views around a range of issues. For example, pupils contribute wholeheartedly to making the school an even safer environment for learning. Pupils are delighted when their suggestions are adopted by the school. Pupils carry out leadership roles such as school councillors, and mathematics and art ambassadors confidently. These roles help to develop pupils’ character. Pupils take their responsibilities seriously and make a difference, both in school and in the wider community.
