School Description

This is a school where pupils get a truly special and wonderful experience. Pupils are happy and are kept safe. They all have a trusted adult who listens to them. Pupils actively help one another. For example, older pupils caringly support younger pupils at lunchtime through their play leader roles. It is a natural part of the school culture for everyone to treat each other with kindness and respect. There are the highest expectations for all pupils. Pupils realise these expectations as they achieve exceptionally well. From early years, children develop passion and enthusiasm for learning. Pupils benefit from a vast wealth of enrichment opportunities. For example, in the pottery club, they extend and deepen their understanding of sculpture from what they learn in art lessons. They use a kiln to produce the highest standard of pottery, which they have exhibited alongside professional artists. Children in early years learn to listen to each other, take turns and enthusiastically share their ideas. They quickly learn important routines, such as listening when on the carpet and tidying up. This provides the foundation for the attentive and highly engaged behaviour that is commonplace across the rest of the school.
