The school excels at supporting children with different needs through quick identification of barriers and targeted, inclusive provision. Pupils enjoy strong, caring relationships with staff and benefit from a rich curriculum enhanced by meaningful trips and experiences.

Key Strengths

  • Highly inclusive culture with quick identification of needs and effective specialist support
  • Well-designed, sequenced curriculum with strong professional development for teachers
  • Rich enrichment through trips, visits and clubs that enhance learning experiences

Areas for Improvement

  • Writing outcomes below national averages - too many pupils don't reach age-related expectations by end of key stage 2
  • Multiplication knowledge not secured early enough, reflected in multiplication tables check results
  • Disadvantaged pupils underperforming in mathematics
  • Curriculum adaptations to remove learning barriers are more effective in some subjects than others
