This is a good school, where pupils from different backgrounds work and play happily together. Pupils feel welcomed here and safe. The school’s aim, ‘to grow and learn together in a loving and caring environment which reflects the Gospel values’, is reflected in all the school’s work. Pupils listen respectfully and politely to each other. They said that all staff care about them and help them to do their best. The school is a very calm place. Pupils learn the importance of doing their best and persevering when they initially encounter difficulties. Pupils rarely miss a day of school. They behave exceptionally well, so that curriculum teaching is rarely interrupted. This is because pupils are supported by staff to engage with their surroundings, form positive relationships with others and enjoy their learning. Bullying is rare and dealt with quickly. Pupils clearly enjoy the many activities on offer at playtime. These activities aim to help pupils keep fit, healthy and active. School leaders and staff know the school’s local community well. They use their knowledge to provide an inviting environment and typically engaging curriculum for pupils. Leaders are in the process of developing the sequence and structure of the planned curriculum in a few subjects.
