Pupils behave very well. They help each other in the classroom and look after one another during playtimes. The oldest pupils have a younger buddy and enjoy activities such as reading regularly together. Bullying rarely happens at the school. Pupils know that if someone does or says something unkind, adults will follow it up straight away to stop it happening again. Leaders offer pupils many chances to shine. The headteacher's aim is that 'no talent is left undiscovered'. Pupils value the wide range of opportunities they receive. Staff ensure that these experiences give pupils opportunities to build their character.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not consistently provide pupils with learning activities that help them to remember all the key knowledge they need for future learning. Leaders should ensure that teachers provide pupils with work that fully supports their learning to enable them to remember knowledge over time.
- Pupils' knowledge about fundamental British values is variable. Some pupils are not being prepared fully for all aspects of life in modern Britain. Leaders should ensure that opportunities to develop pupils' understanding of fundamental British values are purposefully planned and delivered throughout the curriculum.
