They are appreciative of the fact that the school supports them to 'be the best they can be.' Pupils are proud to belong to this school. Their well-being is central to the school's work.

The school places great importance on a range of values, for example, friendship and trust. Year 6 pupils select the monthly values for the whole school. Pupils enjoy a variety of exciting experiences to broaden their learning. This includes curriculum visits to museums and residential trips. Pupils take on responsibilities and develop their leadership skills. For example, pupils act as reader leaders, who engage younger children in reading opportunities.

What the school should improve
- On occasions, the school does not ensure that pupils remember important curriculum knowledge in some subjects. As a result, pupils do not always make connections in their learning and integrate new knowledge. This slows their progress through the curriculum. The school should ensure that teachers strengthen the implementation of the curriculum so that pupils remember more over time.
