The school creates a caring, respectful community where children feel safe and confident, with strong support for those who need extra help. Teachers are highly skilled at teaching reading and maths, ensuring children build secure knowledge that prepares them well for their next stage of learning.

  • Pupils demonstrate mature behaviour, respect and care for each other with rare incidents of bullying
  • Leaders have successfully addressed historic weaknesses in achievement, particularly in arithmetic and multiplication

Areas for Improvement

  • At times, some activity choices in lessons do not give a small proportion of pupils the opportunity to build their knowledge as effectively as they could
  • Historic achievement in Year 4 multiplication tables was lower than national averages, though this has now improved
  • Published outcomes do not yet reflect the recent progress made by disadvantaged pupils
