A calm and welcoming atmosphere pervades this school. Staff greet pupils warmly each morning. Pupils arrive smiling and happy. They enjoy attending school and feel safe. From the Nursery Year, children demonstrate a strong understanding of routines and quickly settle into school life.

The school has high expectations for its pupils. Pupils work hard in classrooms and want to be successful. Typically, pupils achieve well across a range of subjects. In the playground, pupils play together harmoniously in the well-resourced space. They enjoy climbing on ‘the tower’ or whizzing down the ‘swirly-whirly’ slide.

The school sets clear expectations of how pupils should behave. Positive and caring relationships sit at the heart of this. Pupils rise to these expectations and behave well. They enjoy receiving stickers and points for their good work.
