What This School Does Well

- Effective use of pupil premium funding to support disadvantaged pupils and those with additional needs
- Good teaching that is engaging and challenges pupils to think deeply
- Strong leadership that checks on teaching quality and has successful improvement plans in place
Areas for Improvement
- Teachers occasionally give work that is too easy or too hard, and don't always check when pupils are ready to move on
- Progress in writing lags behind reading, with pupils needing better vocabulary skills
- Monitoring of teaching and support for disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is not rigorous enough
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective with the school meeting all legal requirements and the governing body ensuring compliance.
