Pupils at Ugborough Primary School are vibrant and enthusiastic. They talk about their school and learning with pride. Pupils say that one of the best things about the school is the staff. Strong and nurturing relationships between pupils and staff underpin the school culture and ethos. Pupils strive to meet the high expectations staff have of them. This makes the school a motivational, yet calm, place to learn. Pupils have a wide range of opportunities to enrich and extend their learning in the classroom. They value the experiences they have on residential trips, visits to support curriculum learning and the wide range of extra-curricular clubs. Pupils talk with joy about opportunities for singing and performing arts, including the current leavers’ production of ‘Treasure Island’. The school council has an active role in the school. For example, they have managed to fundraise to improve the equipment used at playtimes. These experiences strengthen pupils’ learning about respect for others, resilience and selfawareness. Pupils are well prepared for the next steps in their education. Parents and carers praise the school for the community feel. They have high regard for the pastoral and academic provision from the whole staff team.
