Areas for Improvement

- The most able pupils are not sufficiently challenged and their learning is not well monitored
- Middle leaders need greater involvement in monitoring whole-school improvements
- Pupils do not consistently receive clear feedback on how to improve their work
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective - pupils are kept safe through rigorous implementation of policies, procedures and protocols with meticulous record-keeping to promote well-being.
