School Description

Pupils are thriving at this inclusive, nurturing and successful school. There is a keen sense of community, which results in happy staff and pupils. The school has high expectations and staff create an environment where respect and kindness are commonplace. Each pupil is known as an individual and pupils have strong, trusting relationships with each other and with staff. Pupils are confident, articulate and well behaved. Pupils know they can talk about any concerns they might have and that these will be dealt with swiftly. Disruption is rare, so pupils can concentrate and focus on their learning. They work hard and produce work of high quality. Pupils are well motivated to assume a wide range of roles across the school. They enjoy these responsibilities and feel that they are making an impact on their school community by helping others. For example, the ‘restorative justice’ mentors support friendship issues. Sports leaders set up playground activities and the school council has created a ‘buddy bench’ to provide support for their peers when needed. Wonderful manners are displayed across the school by pupils. Teachers praise pupils through the Golden Globe awards and gold book certificates. Consequently, pupils are keen to impress and enjoy coming to school.
