This is a happy school where pupils grow up within a harmonious and kindly community. There is a family feel around the school, with birthday celebrations and a house points system to celebrate good behaviour. Pupils learn the importance of good manners. Everyone aspires to be a ‘finer diner’ at lunchtimes. In some lessons, pupils are interested in their learning. They do their best with the tasks they are given. They are confident to ask adults for help when they need it. In other lessons, and the early years, tasks do not engage or extend pupils. When this happens, some pupils lose concentration and do not achieve as well as they should. Pupils enjoy their time together. The youngest children play imaginative games in small groups. Pupils of all ages mix cheerfully at breaktimes in the extensive grounds. They are proud to be welcoming and friendly. Pupils know and understand the school rules. They understand that actions have consequences and that these are fair. Pupils understand that bullying is wrong. It happens very rarely. Pupils trust their teachers to resolve any incidences of bullying swiftly. Pupils can develop their interests with a limited number of clubs at times during the year such as drama club. An outdoor club enables pupils to take appropriate risks and learn more about the natural world.
