What This School Does Well

This welcoming school helps pupils make good progress from below-average starting points. Teachers have high expectations and use good questioning to keep pupils engaged in learning. The school is particularly strong in reading and writing, with a sharp focus on language development that is helping pupils improve rapidly.

Key Strengths

Areas for Improvement

  • Too few opportunities for pupils to use reading, writing and maths skills across other subjects
  • Some lessons have too much teacher direction, slowing the pace of learning
  • Managers' checks on teaching quality have not identified all weaknesses

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective - pupils are safe, have good understanding of keeping themselves safe online, and understand different types of bullying which the school follows up well.
