They look forward to educational visits that connect with their learning in the classroom. Pupils develop their sense of responsibility as they become playleaders and school envoys. They take part in elections for pupil leadership positions, which helps them understand how democracy works. Pupils understand how staff want them to behave. They know that all staff have the same expectations. Consequently, they behave very well in their classrooms and around the school.

What the school should improve
- The school does not have clear procedures in place to share information with parents about the provision for pupils with SEND. As a result, parents do not consistently get the information they need about the strategies the school uses and the positive impact they have on pupils with SEND. The school should improve the way it communicates and works with parents to support pupils with SEND further.
