Behaviour
- The behaviour of pupils is outstanding.
- Given the large number of pupils who exhibit emotional and behavioural needs, pupils’ attitudes to learning are first class. They are motivated and fully engaged with their learning. In lessons, they listen and follow instructions and quickly engage with their work.
- These positive attitudes are mirrored around the school. Pupils are considerate, open doors to adults and play well together. Outside the school, they are real ambassadors for the values the school stands for. As one parent identified, ‘When in public, the children are always well mannered and extremely well behaved.’
- The school behaviour policy is applied with great consistency by all the staff and pupils are left in no doubt what constitutes acceptable and unacceptable behaviour and they respond accordingly.
Extract from our OFSTED report September 2021.
Pupils feel safe at the school because leaders and staff listen carefully to their views and act quickly to resolve any problems. Pupils’ behaviour around the school is exemplary. Pupils said that on the rare occasions that bullying arises, leaders and staff help to resolve matters quickly.
