What This School Does Well
This is a caring school where children feel safe and are encouraged to do well.

The school is particularly skilled at supporting children with additional needs, including those with autism, ensuring they access the full curriculum.
Key Strengths
- Strong phonics teaching with books closely matched to sounds pupils know, supported by parent workshops

- Calm, orderly behaviour in lessons with strong systems to support pupils who need extra guidance
- Governors hold leaders to account effectively while supporting the school, and staff well-being is prioritised
Areas for Improvement
- In some subjects, leaders have not clearly identified the most important concepts for pupils to learn, limiting deeper understanding
- Teaching does not routinely deliver the intended curriculum consistently, particularly for some pupils with Education, Health and Care plans
- Teachers need better subject knowledge and expertise to meet curriculum aims and pupil needs more precisely
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective - leaders have strong systems in place for staff training, recording concerns, and working with external agencies to ensure families and pupils get the help they need.
Extracurricular Activities
School council, lunchtime clubs, Year 6 residential visit, local area visits
