Pupils know that any concerns that they might have will be taken seriously and that they are well looked after. This helps to keep pupils safe. The school has high expectations and a clear vision to support all pupils' development effectively. As a result, pupils develop well academically and personally. Pupils know the school's values well. They recognise that these help them to develop a shared understanding of how to treat one another. Behaviour is calm and positive, with pupils following routines and engaging well in lessons. At social times, pupils play energetically and kindly. They take turns and share play equipment. Pupils benefit from a range of experiences that enrich the curriculum and help to prepare them for life in modern Britain.
