“At the heart of the good teaching and learning are excellent relationships between teachers, staff and pupils. The atmosphere of classrooms is very positive. Teachers and teaching assistants praise pupils often, providing good guidance and support. In discussions with pupils, the knowledge that teachers want the best for them and will always help them are two of the first things pupils said when asked why they liked school.”Ofsted – 16th and 17th March 2011 - Good
