Pupils are happy at this school. They enjoy playing and learning together with their friends. Pupils feel safe and know that there are trusted adults they can talk to if they have any worries. When the occasional ‘fall outs’ happen, they know that they will be sorted out, so they are friends again. Pupils strive to model the school’s values of ‘responsibility, independence and resilience’ throughout the school day. The school has high expectations for all its pupils. School and trust leaders work closely together to identify ways to ensure pupils succeed in all areas of school life. Pupils typically achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy the range of extra-curricular opportunities on offer. They talk enthusiastically about the range of clubs they attend and looking after the school’s animals, including Jim, the therapy dog. All pupils benefit from outdoor learning in the school’s different areas. The school is a central part of the local community. Building positive relationships with parents and carers is a high priority for the school. Events, such as a family stargazing evening and using the community allotment, help to bring parents into the school and support learning.
