Pupils are polite, respectful and welcoming. They enjoy coming to school because it is a kind community where their teachers help them to learn well. Pupils are settled in class and interact with each other positively. At breaktimes, they play games cheerfully together in the playground. Staff keep a watchful and caring eye on every pupil so that they recognise swiftly if there is anything the matter. Staff are alert to any rare instances of bullying or issues between friends. Staff help pupils to resolve any worries and support pupils’ emotional well-being. Safeguarding is effective. Pupils are excited about special events and activities, including the science fair for pupils in Year 6 and the gems-art club. They take pride in their achievements, including embroidery and fund-raising for various charities. Educational outings, including to historical locations and the local park, encourage pupils’ learning in history, geography and science. Leaders have high expectations for pupils to develop skills and knowledge that will enable them to be successful in their chosen future career pathways.
