School Description

Pupils flourish in this happy, calm and well-organised school. Strong levels of care, combined with high expectations, mean that pupils feel comfortable and secure. They welcome visitors warmly, sharing their achievements with understandable pride. The school’s values underpin school life. Pupils respect adults and each other. They work hard and develop valuable skills to help them in the classroom. For example, the youngest children learn how to take turns, while older pupils put their hands up to answer a question. Pupils demonstrate remarkable patience. This is because they know that everyone will be included. During the inspection, for instance, children in Reception Year waited patiently to choose an object during a phonics session, while pupils in another class listened intently as a classmate described the courage needed to climb steep steps during a visit to a circus. Pupils behave sensibly and get on well together. They told inspectors that having time with their friends is one of their favourite things about school. Pupils enjoy playing and learning in the school’s attractive grounds. During the inspection, pupils joined in enthusiastically with a game of hide-and-seek organised by their teacher in the school’s orchard. Leaders take any concerns about the risk of bullying seriously and act promptly.
