They said that if they have any concerns or worries at all, they can easily talk to any of the adults in school. Staff have high expectations of pupils. They expect pupils to aim high in their learning and behaviour. Pupils behave well, both in and out of lessons. On the rare occasion when bullying occurs, staff deal with it promptly and effectively. Pupils are articulate and confident. They love playing with their friends in the school's spacious play areas. They especially enjoy opportunities to learn about plants and bugs in the school's courtyard and gardens. Across a range of subjects, the curriculum helps pupils to develop their knowledge and be keen to learn more. Leaders create plenty of opportunities to promote and celebrate diversity. For example, they provide books in the school library which reflect pupils' cultures, ethnicities and languages. Pupils work well together. They encourage and support each other to complete tasks that their teachers set them.
What the school should improve
- A few staff have not completed their training in delivering the school's phonics programme. Occasionally, this leads to inconsistencies, particularly in how well staff address pupils' misconceptions in phonics. This affects how well some pupils build up fluency in reading. Leaders should continue their work to ensure that all staff are trained to deliver the school's phonics programme effectively.
