What This School Does Well

This is a welcoming and inclusive school where pupils feel supported and enjoy learning. The leadership team has made strong improvements to how the school tracks pupil progress, helping teachers spot when children need extra help earlier. Most pupils make good progress in reading and mathematics, with some making exceptionally good progress.

Key Strengths

  • Welcoming and inclusive school environment with strong focus on pupil well-being
  • Improved systems for tracking pupil progress and identifying those who need extra support early
  • Effective teaching with skilful questioning to challenge pupils
  • Staff understand safeguarding responsibilities and receive regular training on current issues

Areas for Improvement

  • Writing progress across the school, particularly for disadvantaged pupils, though this is improving
  • Need for more challenging opportunities for pupils to develop writing skills
  • Ensuring consistent progress for middle-attaining pupils in mathematics
  • Closing gaps between disadvantaged pupils and national progress rates

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective - staff receive clear training and understand current risks including internet safety, radicalisation and child protection, with detailed records maintained and pupils reporting they feel safe.
