Pupils are exceptionally happy, polite and confident. They want to learn. Parents and carers are also overwhelmingly positive about the school. All those who responded to Ofsted’s online questionnaire would recommend the school to others. Teachers have remarkably high expectations of behaviour. Pupils’ spiritual and moral development is very well considered. Pupils believe that behaviour is exceptional, and that bullying is not an issue. Pupils get to visit lots of interesting places and large numbers of pupils take part in the wide range of clubs that are available. Pupils’ learning is well planned so that they achieve well. Some of the planning in the early years is not as good as it could be, which is limiting how well the youngest children get on. Planning for some subjects, such as history and geography, has recently proved to be successful in improving pupils’ knowledge and understanding. Pupils read well. Phonics is taught effectively, pupils read to adults every day and attendance at the ‘reading enthusiasts’ club is high. Books have been purchased to support learning in lessons but books in the library need updating.
