Pupils talk about their learning with excitement and confidence. There is a culture of kindness and mutual respect, and pupils are well cared for and nurtured. As a result, pupils feel safe and happy. The 'Throckley Values' of pride, success, teamwork, respect, caring and learning are felt across school and underpin everything that the school does.
