  • Strong progress for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs through effective support
  • Well-organised curriculum with high-quality experiences including specialist teaching in art and physical education
  • Excellent attendance rates and pupils feel safe at school

Areas for Improvement

  • Assessment information needs to be used more precisely to identify when progress of groups in key stage 2 is not secure, particularly for most-able pupils
  • Teachers should build on pupils' prior learning from the start of activities to provide more challenging work for high-attaining pupils, especially in writing
  • Strong progress made in key stage 1 needs to continue consistently into key stage 2

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective and well managed - staff are confident in raising concerns and pupils demonstrate secure understanding of how to keep themselves safe online and in their community.
