Pupils thrive at this nurturing, caring school in the heart of the community. The school's mission and values, 'learning, share friendship and show respect for ourselves and others', are at the heart of everyone's work. Pupils enjoy strong and caring relationships with staff and each other. These are built upon respect. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) rise to the high expectations the school has for them. They value their learning and appreciate the wider experiences on offer. As a result, they achieve exceptionally well across the curriculum. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. This is because routines are well established. Pupils know what is expected from them. In lessons, pupils have highly positive attitudes to learning. They are well mannered, and kind and courteous to staff and to each other. Pupils' wider experiences at school are impressive. The school carefully considers each activity to best support pupils' education and wider development. These include sports, art, music and outdoor education.
