Achievement - Needs attention. "Leaders are taking action to improve the achievement of pupils."

Safeguarding standards were met.

Ofsted's next steps for the school: "• Leaders should further improve the implementation of the handwriting curriculum to ensure that all pupils write fluently and accurately across the curriculum. They should ensure that staff consistently model the correct approach. • Leaders should continue their work to improve pupils' achievement, particularly in mathematics, and build on the improvements already made. • Leaders should ensure that teachers' use of assessment to check what pupils already know, including through questioning, enables them to make changes to their teaching as necessary. • Leaders should further strengthen their work to deepen pupils' understanding of different cultures and knowledge of different faiths to make sure that they are fully prepared for life in modern Britain".

The school runs a breakfast club from 7:30am and after-school care, from £9.00 per session.
