“Pupils respond well to the school’s high expectations for behaviour. They listen carefully to adults and their peers. In lessons, pupils try their best. However, teachers do not check on pupils’ understanding consistently well, so pupils do not get the right guidance to help them improve. Too many pupils have gaps in their learning. As a result, these pupils do not achieve as well as they should.”

“Pupils are keen to participate in groups that give them extra responsibilities. The digital leads and Spanish ambassadors learn valuable leadership skills as they help other pupils with their learning. The pupils in the school council have learned to support their peers with their well-being and they relish this important role. It teaches them to show compassion for others.”

“The school organises visitors who help pupils to be well prepared for their transition to secondary school. These include talks from the police and road safety experts.
Pupils excitedly explain what they have learned from these visitors.”
