Pupils are happy in school, and they get on well together. They value the warm welcome they receive from caring staff each morning. Pupils are polite and friendly. They understand that leaders and teachers expect them to behave well.
Pupils make a positive contribution to their local community in activities such as litter picking and organising food bank donations. Many pupils take full advantage of the wide range of after-school clubs on offer. Leaders ensure that these activities appeal to pupils’ broad range of interests.
It's the first time I have visited your school, it feels so warm and welcoming. It was lovely to see the children all working hard and happily on task. I was made to feel very welcome.
Pupils feel safe in school. They know that staff are ready to listen and support them if they have any worries or concerns. Leaders deal with bullying effectively. Pupils feel valued because staff take time to get to know them well.
“The school is wonderful! Both my children are happy, settled and growing in confidence, all down to the patience and continued support they offer them. I am forever grateful.” From our Parent Survey 2024
Parent Survey 2024 “91% of parents would strongly recommend or recommend the school to others.”
Simon Rigby - Vice Principal (Swinton) “Portland is the pulse of the community. The staff support families far beyond the remit of education.”
