Pupils have their say

Our most recent pupil surveys have shown some positive responses from all our pupils, from EYFS to Year 6.

WOW! There are so many things that you LOVE about our school - here a few of them:

Seeing and speaking to your teachers;
Playing with your friends at break and lunchtime;
Our forest school and yoga sessions;
Art, english and sports;
Using the I-Pads;
Learning new subjects;
Getting awards such as star of the week and having your lunch on the Captain's Table!
Trips and residentials;
Completing jobs for the office and for Mrs Young.

Good news:

You feel safe at school and know that there is someone who you can speak to (94% know this!) You identify areas such as our nurture room, the classrooms with your teachers and anywhere in school with the adults as being places of safety.
Some of you expressed how practicing emergency drills help you to feel safe and know what to do if there is an emergency.

Things we need to work on:

Some of you have said that you don't feel safe outside because you might get hurt or fall over. Sometimes people can be unkind to you when outside which makes you feel sad. Not everyone shows you respect at all times.

By working on the things below, together we can help to make each other feel safe and happy:

Children and parents being able to define bullying (think about S.T.O.P - Several Times On Purpose); You recognise that bullying does happen and that the adults at school deal with it and help you;
Using our behaviour blueprint and the tariff of sanction and reward so that everybody knows how we will deal with behaviour that is disrespectful and unsafe;
Ensuring that we all see and set good examples of behaviour in and around our school;
Building positive friendships with each other and manging conflict in an appropriate manner; we sometimes fall out with our friends but we need to remain respectful and kind to each other whilst the relationship repairs;
Making sure we look after one another and are brave and courageous in making decisions.
