Pupils enjoy their vibrant and inclusive school. Pupils work hard to live up to the school’s motto of, ‘be the best we can be’, in all areas of school life. They embrace the school’s ‘four pillars of learning’ - challenge, engagement, feedback and independent learning. They recognise that they can always improve. Pupils are attentive to feedback and persevere in the face of challenge. The school provides pupils with a strong quality of education. Teachers are well trained to understand pupils’ needs. They confidently insist upon the highest standards of behaviour in classrooms and around the school, so that pupils can focus on their learning. The school has ensured that teachers have good subject knowledge across the subjects they teach. They explain things clearly and pupils are keen to learn. As a result, pupils at the school achieve well. Pupils enjoy the ‘Stafford Offer’, a wide range of enrichment available throughout the school day. At lunchtime, for example, pupils enjoy a range of clubs, such as ‘cheerleading club’, and some of which are pupil led. Despite the engaging education and enriching activities provided, some pupils do not attend as well as they should. The school works to support pupils with low attendance back to school, but this work has not yet been impactful for all pupils.
