Ofsted's next steps for the school: "• Leaders should ensure that the work that has begun to address gaps in pupils' letter formation and pencil grip gathers pace and rigour so that particularly older pupils benefit from this work and rectify any persistent inaccuracies. • Leaders should continue to support teachers to develop and embed their strategies for checking what pupils know and understand so that these are used consistently and effectively. • Leaders should ensure that they continue to support teachers and early years staff to design tasks and activities for pupils that closely align with the intended learning, take account of children's and pupils' prior knowledge and skills and are effectively adapted where needed, so that children's and pupils' learning is maximised".

Clubs and activities named on the school's website include swimming and Lego.
