Pupils are clear that discrimination is wrong and talk respectfully about people with different views and experiences. Older pupils support younger children, for example in the playground, when learning a new game such as hockey. Pupils enjoy the wide range of experiences offered by the school, for example a visiting play about bullying, clubs such as girls' football, music lessons and competitive sports.

Their feedback contributes to the decisions the school makes.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, staff do not use their checks effectively so that pupils secure the most important knowledge. This means that some pupils lose confidence and find it harder to learn new material. They do not achieve as well as they could. The school should use assessment precisely to identify gaps in pupils' learning and use this information to plan future learning.
