The school also creates a wonderfully inclusive community where all children, including those with additional needs, feel valued and well-supported.
Key Strengths
- Excellent behaviour and attitudes - pupils are well-behaved and manage their emotions effectively with staff support

- Strong reading programme with highly skilled teachers who ensure pupils learn to read fluently and develop broad knowledge
- Excellent personal development opportunities including learning about diverse religions and cultures

Areas for Improvement
- Teachers do not always use information about what pupils already know to inform teaching, meaning some pupils do not build knowledge effectively over time
- Need to use formative assessment more routinely to identify misunderstandings and provide pupils with appropriate next steps
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with regular staff training, close work with parents and external agencies, and pupils taught how to stay safe including online.
