Pupils, and their parents and carers, are proud to be part of this exceptional school. Pupils come from a diverse range of backgrounds. They embrace each other's differences. Staff help all pupils to flourish and grow. One parent's comment, typical of many, stated that, 'The staff are invested in the children's development and genuinely care. They are not only educated but become well-rounded, polite, caring and kind children, setting them up for future life.' All pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve extremely well. Staff have exceptionally high expectations of pupils. Pupils feel empowered to tackle new challenges with great confidence. Pupils like going to school and feel safe. They want to learn and be successful. They enjoy the visits and visitors that help to bring their learning to life in subjects such as history. Pupils feel that these experiences help them to remember what they have learned. Pupils' behaviour across the school is exemplary. The school's motto, 'Service before self', is evident in all aspects of school life. Pupils trust adults to sort out any problems that they have. Bullying is rare. Pupils know that adults will deal with any incidents sensitively but thoroughly.
