Relationships between pupils and staff are positive. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. In most subjects, most pupils achieve well. Pupils benefit from the range of wider opportunities on offer. These include gardening club, visiting speakers and competitive sporting opportunities against the other school in the federation. Pupils, and their families, are supported to manage their well-being through initiatives such as the anxiety management drop-in morning. There are high expectations of pupils' conduct. These are reflected in pupils' kindness and courteous manners as they move around the school. Low-level disruption is rare but staff deal with it effectively when it occurs. Pupils stated that staff help pupils to rebuild their relationships when they fall out with each other. Leaders deal with any incidents of bullying quickly and effectively.

What the school should improve

• Some pupils who find reading difficult do not receive effective support to address gaps in their phonics knowledge. This is because leaders do not identify these gaps and staff lack expertise in providing targeted support. Leaders should ensure that staff receive the training that they need to support pupils to catch up quickly.
