Are staff and children actively involved in improving their school community?
Children are very proud of their school and the part they play in helping to improve what it does. They are successful in taking on a wide range of responsibilities. Members of the pupil council have also been trained to be play leaders. A few children are junior road safety officers and others take turns to be lunchtime helpers. Children at all stages contributed ideas to school programmes of learning on health and wellbeing. Children in P6 run the school’s Credit Union which helps children of all ages understand the value of saving up money. Staff are highly motivated and work very well together to plan improvements and provide consistently high quality learning for children. They also consult with and involve parents in working groups, for example planning to improve homework activities. There are clear links between planned improvements and children’s learning and achievement, for example in the planning for improvement in writing.
How well do children learn and achieve?
Children are learning very well and achieving success both in and beyond the classroom. They really enjoy learning together on activities that give them confidence and let them take responsibility. Children at all stages plan and organise events, for example to raise money for charity.
