Pupils genuinely enjoy coming to school. They are enthusiastic about their lessons and the supportive environment that the school provides. Pupils are happy, secure and eager to contribute. Pupils trust staff to help them should they have any concerns. There is a strong sense of safety and belonging. Pupils are keen to do well. They demonstrate high levels of respect towards staff, visitors and each other. Pupils conduct themselves well in lessons and during social times. This contributes to a supportive, welcoming and calm atmosphere. Parents and carers appreciate the care shown to their children and the positive relationships that underpin the school’s ethos. Staff and governors share high ambitions for what pupils can achieve. However, some areas of the curriculum are not fully developed. Some subjects are not as well considered or resourced as others. This limits what pupils achieve. While pupils have opportunities for personal development, the school does not ensure that all the required content to fulfil the independent school standards (the standards) is covered. Children in the early years quickly settle into new routines. Kind staff look after these youngest members of the school. Older pupils celebrate the success of younger peers as they master their phonics. The school choir sings about a range of important themes, such as world peace.
