Pupils are very positive about their school. They feel valued and listened to by the adults. Most pupils are confident that, if they have any worries, they will get the support they need. This includes ‘Maple Time’, for example: special time with the school’s therapy dog. At breaktimes, pupils play together happily. Pupils say that any unkind behaviour is dealt with quickly by the adults in the school. One pupil said: ‘There is never any bullying in the school. If there was it would be sorted out immediately.’ Pupils understand that it is important to treat one another with respect. They work well together. The school motto is ‘Everybody different, everybody equal’. One pupil explained: ‘This means that, even though we are not all the same, we should still treat one another fairly and equally.’ Leaders help pupils to develop into enthusiastic learners. Topics are planned to engage pupils’ interests, and these include visitors, theme days and trips. However, over time, pupils do not learn as much as they should. This stems from leaders not yet mapping out clearly what pupils will learn.
