Staff are responsive to individual needs, especially for pupils requiring extra support, ensuring every child achieves well and feels valued.

Key Strengths

  • Early reading is a curriculum priority with expert staff supporting pupils to become fluent and confident readers quickly
  • Ambitious, well-designed curriculum across broad subjects with logical progression and high-quality pupil work

Areas for Improvement
