Pupils are happy and well behaved and enjoy coming to school. They feel safe as adults are caring and listen to them if they have any worries. Pupils are kind and respectful of each other. They demonstrate good manners and are polite. In lessons, pupils help each other if they get stuck. They listen attentively when their classmates are explaining an answer. Pupils enjoy working in groups. They take turns and make sure everyone gets a chance to join in. Pupils celebrate their friends’ achievements. Pupils understand there are different types of bullying. It is not an issue, but pupils are sure that adults would step in to help if it ever happened. Staff have high expectations of pupils to work hard and behave well. Pupils achieve highly, particularly by the end of key stage 2. The school’s five values are revisited daily and underpin the ethos of the school. Adults and pupils have good relationships which creates a calm atmosphere for pupils to learn in. The school is warm and welcoming. The new early years outdoor areas have improved the school environment. Children in early years now have a pleasant area in which to learn and play. Pupils are actively involved in a range of leadership roles. School council and play leader responsibilities help pupils develop confidence and independence.
