School Description

This is a school where pupils ‘GROW’. ‘Every child, every chance, every day’, pupils are helped to ‘give thanks, remember manners, only do their best and to wear a smile.’ Pupils understand these aims and do their very best to live up to them. Pupils are proud of the wide range of cultures, religions and backgrounds that make up their school. Diversity is celebrated. As one pupil said: ‘We are an inclusive school. Everyone gets on.’ Pupils behave well. They are motivated by the rewards on offer. Earning points, messages home, being placed in the ‘Golden Book’ and receiving the huge stickers from the headteacher are all highly prized. The school provides a comprehensive range of help, advice and support to parents and pupils. The large proportion of pupils who do not speak English when they first join the school get on well. Time in the ‘Learning Zone’ ensures that these pupils quickly learn the most important words and phrases that they need. Relationships between adults and pupils are consistently positive. The school is highly cohesive.
