- Disadvantaged pupils make very good progress, matching or exceeding that of their peers
- Strong leadership focused on improving teaching quality and supporting new staff

Areas for Improvement
- Marking of pupils' work, particularly in writing, is not fully effective in helping pupils improve

- Early years staff do not work alongside children enough to develop their ideas, skills and understanding
- Pupils need more opportunities to apply mathematics skills to real-life problems
