They strive to live out the school's values of courage, honesty and teamwork. Pupils are respectful to each other and to adults. They get along well together. Playtimes are an exciting part of the day. Pupils enjoy the many fun outside learning activities. Tennis, pogo and building with pallets in the woodland area are popular choices. The school teaches pupils to be active citizens. Pupils value the many opportunities to take on responsibilities. These include being library monitors, sports leaders and reading ambassadors.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, some learning activities do not support pupils to achieve the aims of the ambitious curriculum. As a result, pupils do not secure and deepen their knowledge as well as they could in these subjects. The school should ensure that learning activities are used consistently well, enabling pupils to progress through the curriculum as well as the school intends.
