They 'explain' their learning with great enthusiasm. Pupils are proud to complete pledges that demonstrate these values.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Children get off to a good start with their education in the Nursery and Reception-age classes. The engaging curriculum provides firm foundations for future learning.

Staff encourage them to pursue their ideas in creative ways. Children soon learn all the school routines. They look after the toys and equipment. Children talk confidently about their learning. They explain how to play safely on the big equipment outside.
Learning to read well is at the forefront of the curriculum. Phonics is well taught. Pupils quickly learn all the sounds. They get extra help from expertly trained staff if they fall behind.
