Achievement - Expected standard. "Pupils generally achieve well and are prepared appropriately for the next stage of their education."

Attendance and behaviour - Expected standard. "Leaders establish high expectations for pupils' behaviour through clear routines, positive relationships and a culture of respect."

Curriculum and teaching - Expected standard. "Staff deliver a broad and ambitious curriculum using shared resources developed by the trust and adapted by leaders in the school."

Early years - Expected standard. "Leaders give early years a high priority and are committed to giving children a positive start to their education."

Inclusion - Expected standard. "Leaders make sure that pupils who need extra help are identified quickly."

Leadership and governance - Expected standard. "Leaders have a clear vision for the school that is rooted in high expectations and ensuring that every pupil succeeds."

Personal development and wellbeing - Expected standard. "Leaders provide a coherent programme of personal development that prepares pupils well for life beyond school."

Ofsted's next steps for the school: "Leaders should ensure that staff apply the school's inclusive approaches with the same consistency so that all groups of pupils receive the same high-quality support, resulting in barriers to their learning being reduced"; "Leaders should continue to embed the school's phonics programme, building on recent improvements and making sure that all staff have the expertise needed to support pupils with their early reading"; "The school should seek ways to further strengthen engagement with parents and carers by providing regular, structured opportunities for them to share their views".
