Pupils flourish in this welcoming school, which is at the heart of the community. The school has high expectations and is ambitious for every pupil to succeed. Pupils are expected to achieve highly academically and personally. With the support of the school, they do so. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those pupils in the resource provision. Pupils respond to the school's ambition for them with determination and go on to achieve considerable success. Pupils understand and share the responsibility for their own positive behaviour. They feel safe in this calm, nurturing and happy school. Pupils are proud of their school. Pupils know that if they have a concern, an adult is always available to help them. Staff have developed strong and meaningful relationships with pupils. Pupils treat each other with the same levels of respect and care that is shown to them. Pupils behave exceptionally well in lessons and during social times. They display very positive attitudes to their learning. The school's ambition goes beyond the classroom into the wider personal development offer the school provides.

They enjoy taking positions of leadership and responsibility, such as eco-leaders, computer and play leaders. Pupils contribute positively to school life.
