What This School Does Well

This is a warm, caring school where children feel happy and supported. Staff have high expectations and work hard to help every child succeed, including those who need extra help. The school offers lots of interesting activities beyond the classroom, from sports to drama, helping children develop confidence and become responsible citizens.

  • Strong identification and support for pupils with SEND using external specialists

  • High staff expectations and excellent support for disadvantaged pupils

Areas for Improvement

  • Some foundation subjects lack clearly defined knowledge and vocabulary for pupils to learn
  • Staff do not consistently have the subject knowledge needed to deliver some subjects effectively

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective with staff prioritising pupils' wellbeing and responding quickly to any concerns.

Extracurricular Activities

Music, arts, gardening, sports (skipping, hockey, netball), drama performance activities, educational visits to local farms and history museum
