Pupils are happy and safe at school. They said that it is a friendly and welcoming place to learn. Pupils benefit from high-quality support, care and guidance. They said that adults deal with any incidents of bullying or unkind behaviour quickly and effectively. Leaders and other staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils listen carefully to their teachers and they follow instructions. Pupils get on with their learning without interruption. They behave well in lessons, around the school and at breaktimes. Pupils are delighted when staff recognise their efforts, for example when they receive team points or a certificate of achievement. Leaders are ambitious for what pupils can and should achieve. Overall, pupils achieve well. Children in the early years are well prepared for key stage 1. The youngest children are encouraged to build their resilience and to take turns with each other. Pupils are proud of their school. They enjoy visits to the woodland area. Pupils also benefit from being elected as school council members and guardians. They keenly take on extra responsibility. Pupils carry out their duties diligently and carefully. Older pupils act as positive role models for younger pupils. Pupils are excited to develop their talents and interests through the vast range of extra-curricular clubs. These opportunities help pupils to develop into healthy, active and responsible members of the school community.
What the school should improve
- The new phonics programme is not delivered consistently well by some staff. This hinders how well a few pupils are learning to read. Leaders should ensure that adults deliver the phonics programme as intended.
- Occasionally, teachers miss opportunities to recap and revisit important parts of the curriculum. This prevents some pupils from developing a deep and rich body of subject knowledge. Leaders should ensure that teachers regularly recap important learning to ensure that pupils link new learning to what they have been taught previously.
