Pupils prosper at this warm and ambitious school. They show great enthusiasm for learning and for the range of activities on offer. Pupils thrive due to the strong relationships that they build with staff. Pupils routinely strive to meet teachers' high standards and achieve exceptionally well as a result. By the end of each key stage, pupils master the knowledge and skills set out by the ambitious curriculum. Pupils are happy and eager to learn. They behave exceptionally well and greet adults warmly and with respect. This positivity extends throughout. The atmosphere in the school is energised and purposeful. Pupils say that bullying is rare and that they are confident that staff will solve any friendship issues that arise. Leaders have the highest aspirations for everyone, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders have worked tirelessly to build a wide range of opportunities for pupils to flourish and to instil purpose and ambition in pupils. Pupils' learning extends beyond the classroom. They enthusiastically attend a range of trips that support their learning. Pupils build their resilience extremely well. For example, in their 'outdoor wild learning' they discover how to work together, building fires for cooking and using woodcraft tools.
