Everyone is encouraged to ‘BRING it!’ to this school. The school’s values of bringing courage, creativity and friendship are pupils’ daily experience. Pupils develop a sense of their own individuality and how they contribute to being a community. There has been a significant increase in pupils attending the school over the last three years. These pupils, and their parents, quickly settle into the school due to the warm welcome. In the early years, this welcome starts as soon as children are allocated a place. Opportunities such as the teddy bears’ picnic help children to belong to the school family before they start school. The extensive range of clubs, trips and activities is a key feature of the school’s offer. There is something for everyone. Pupils, particularly those who are disadvantaged or who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit enormously from these experiences. These well-planned opportunities all contribute to pupils’ character development. This is a school where pupils strive for excellence. Their thirst for learning means they behave well in lessons. They show pride in their work and achieve highly. Mutual respect underpins the strong relationships across the school. Pupils trust adults to treat them fairly and keep them safe.
