Pupils are aware of how they are expected to behave. They move calmly and sensibly around school. They understand that actions have consequences. Pupils enjoy the recognition that they receive for good behaviour such as golden time and 'star of the week'. Pupils and children in the early years enjoy a rich and ambitious curriculum. They benefit from a wide range of experiences to enhance their understanding of the world around them. Pupils enjoy the many clubs and activities that they can take part in, such as yoga, choir and basketball.

They value opportunities to have a say in important school decisions such as how behaviour is managed.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that staff are suitably ambitious in the reading materials that they share with pupils. This prevents pupils from experiencing a wide range of texts, vocabulary and language conventions. The school should ensure that staff encourage pupils to read and listen to a variety of genres and authors.
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough. This means that they do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that successful strategies to reduce absence are identified and sustained so that pupils attend school more regularly.
