Early years - Expected standard. "Leaders have established an inclusive and welcoming early years environment."

Personal development and wellbeing - Expected standard. "Leaders have implemented a well-considered personal development programme for pupils."

Safeguarding standards were met.

Ofsted's next steps for the school: "• Leaders should ensure that the delivery of the curriculum is consistently high across all subjects and year groups. In particular, teaching needs to address more precisely any misconceptions in the classroom so that pupils gain a secure understanding of what they are learning. • Leaders should ensure that recent changes to the teaching of reading have the desired impact of more pupils securing strong outcomes in both the phonics screening check and the end of key stage 2 national tests. • Leaders should continue to implement, monitor and refine their strategies for improving attendance in order to increase the rates of attendance across different pupil groups. • Leaders should continue to further refine and strengthen adult questioning and interactions in the early years provision to ensure that children extend their use of language and deepen their understanding".
