What This School Does Well
The school creates a warm, inclusive environment where pupils feel safe and respected. Staff know pupils very well and provide excellent support, particularly for those with special needs. The school prioritises reading and has implemented new approaches to teaching that are starting to raise expectations, with pupils developing confidence and strong learning habits from Reception onwards.
Key Strengths

Areas for Improvement
- Inconsistent curriculum delivery across subjects and year groups means some pupils are not learning as well as they should
- Some subjects lack clearly identified knowledge and skills, making it harder for pupils to build on prior learning
- Too many pupils arrive late to school, missing valuable learning at the start of the day
- Published outcomes in reading, writing and mathematics at key stage 2 were below expectations in 2024
