School Description

This is a nurturing and inclusive school, which pupils are proud to attend. The school has addressed its areas requiring development effectively. Pupils’ preparation for their next steps in education are beginning to be addressed by the school’s ambitious curriculum. The impact of this work on the hearts and minds of the school community is transformational. Parents, staff and pupils are overwhelmingly positive about the school and rightly so. They speak highly of the progress pupils make and the strong ethos of care and support the school provides. Pupils work with focus in lessons. They follow established routines well. This begins in early years, for example, when children move calmly into phonics groups and when returning from outdoor play. The relationships between adults and pupils are respectful. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are eager to learn in the school’s positive environment. Pupils choose to arrive early for the well-attended breakfast club. They feel safe and happy. The’ GROW’ values of growth, respect, opportunity and well-being are threads that run through school life. The school has implemented an enriching curriculum, which goes beyond academic achievement. This includes individual ‘i-challenge’ passports that pupils complete during their time at the school. The passport challenges such as ‘attending a residential trip’ or ‘building a snowman with your family’, develop teamwork and resilience. This school provides a wealth of opportunities to broaden pupils’ life skills.
