Ofsted's next steps for the school: "Leaders should ensure that a curriculum is in place in the early years that clearly identifies and sequences the key knowledge children will learn across the early years foundation stage"; "Leaders should ensure that staff consistently model high-quality language, so that all pupils develop accurate spoken and written language skills"; "Governors and leaders should ensure that their systems for checking the quality of provision are robust and precise, so that they have an accurate picture of all aspects of the school's work and can work together effectively to drive improvement".

In its own words: "Our school’s philosophy is based on giving every child the opportunity to succeed academically and socially and to ensure they achieve as highly as possible. We provide a caring and high quality Learning Environment where children benefit from an ethos of positive attitudes and high expectations."
