The school expects pupils to work hard, and they do. They are focused and keen to do well in lessons. Pupils talk enthusiastically about learning. They have a wonderful recall of the important things they have learned. This means that they achieve well and are very well prepared for the move to junior school. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes to their learning are excellent. They learn this through the school's 'values animals', including Teamwork Tiger and Respectful Rabbit.
