They understand what bullying is and say it does not happen at the school. Pupils and staff have good relationships. Pupils are confident that 'trusted adults' will help them if they are worried or sad. Every parent who responded to Ofsted Parent View, Ofsted's online survey, said their children feel safe at school. They appreciate the school's nurturing and supportive approach, which enables their children to be successful. Pupils behave very well, both in their lessons and at breaktimes.

What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not understand what British values are. As a result, they are not understanding how what they are learning about in PHSE education relates to the important British values. Leaders should ensure these links are more explicit so pupils can apply their knowledge to confidently discuss British values so they are even more prepared for life in modern Britain.
