Teachers have designed a thoughtful curriculum that builds knowledge step-by-step, with excellent support for early reading. The school excels at developing children's character through a wide range of enrichment activities and experiences that all families can access, ensuring no child misses out.
Key Strengths

- Strong support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities

Areas for Improvement
- In history and a couple of other subjects, essential knowledge is not clearly defined, so pupils sometimes lack secure knowledge (for example, chronological understanding)
- In a small number of Year 1 and 2 classrooms, some pupils find it hard to stay focused on their learning
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective - all staff are trained to understand their responsibilities and recognise signs of harm, and pupils are taught how to stay safe and report concerns.
