Pupils are confident and happy. They are polite and considerate to one another. Pupils treat their friends and adults with respect. They listen carefully to each other when working and playing together. Pupils know the difference between bullying and falling out. They say that bullying does not happen. Pupils are well behaved. Leaders plan opportunities for pupils’ personal development carefully. This is rooted in the vision, values and Catholic faith of the school. Pupils appreciate the supportive and caring school community. They know and value diversity and difference. This prepares the pupils well for life in modern Britain. One parent, typical of many, said that staff ‘foster kindness and thoughtfulness to others’. Pupils are proud of their roles of responsibility, such as being school council members or part of the chaplaincy group. Enrichment activities, including outdoor learning sessions and residential visits, help pupils develop skills for life. These purposeful activities improve pupils’ understanding of fair play and teamwork. Nonetheless, pupils have significant gaps in their wider subject knowledge. In mathematics, they do not have regular opportunities to apply their knowledge to solving problems and reasoning questions. This limits the development of their mathematical skills, vocabulary and knowledge.
