The school’s motto, ‘Learning today for a brighter future’, spreads through all aspects of school life. Pupils are enthusiastic. They love to debate, challenge and discuss ideas when in class. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. Pupils are safe and happy and enjoy coming to school. They develop good friendships and are supportive of one another. They demonstrate tolerance and respect and display positive attitudes to learning. They know that they will have a ‘brighter future’ because of the school. Pupils have strong relationships with their teachers. They consistently behave well and strive to meet the high expectations set. Pupils know that if they have a worry or concern, there is always an adult whom they can talk to. Children in early years receive care and nurture, but the curriculum is not as strong as it could be. Leaders have not prioritised the curriculum in early years to ensure that children get off to the flying start they need. Pupils recognise that there are different types of bullying. They are confident that any bullying would be dealt with. Pupils know that the staff want the best for them and articulate this with confidence. One pupil explained, ‘Teachers allow us to have choices but also guide us along the right path at the same time.’
