Pupils thrive at this vibrant and welcoming school. Pupils are very happy and safe and enjoy coming to school. Relationships between adults and pupils are warm and nurturing. The school has high ambitions for pupils' education, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These ambitions are fully realised. As a result, pupils achieve very well. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour at all times. These expectations are consistently maintained by adults. As a result, pupils behave very well. They are polite and engage positively with each other throughout the school. The school is committed to supporting pupils' broader development. A wide range of extra-curricular clubs, such as athletics, computing and dodgeball, help to cultivate pupils' talents and interests. Pupils take part in performances which develop their confidence and resilience. This includes the school choir performing at a local care home. The school personalises pupils' learning to address risks in the local area. As a result, pupils develop a strong understanding of road and water safety. This learning is reinforced through assemblies and visits from organisations such as the police and fire brigade. As a result, pupils are aware of risks and understand how to keep themselves safe.
