    Pupils know there are high expectations for what they can achieve. 
    They respond every day by working with high levels of focus.  Pupils' achievements are impressive."

    "Pupils enjoy each other's company and build secure relationships with staff. 
    Pupils are taught how to be kind.  This results in a community where the care
    and consideration of others is a shared priority."

    "Pupils' attitudes in lessons are exemplary, showing a deep commitment to the exciting curriculum lessons on offer. 
    Beyond lessons, pupils experience a rich range of experiences that broaden their understanding."

    "Teachers make highly effective use of the curriculum structure. 
    They use it to support pupils to revisit and build upon key concepts in an accessible and routine way."

    "Pupils understand how to keep themselves safe, including when playing outside. 
    They have a responsible attitude to the school's rules and an unwavering desire to be kind and helpful."
