Pupils show these values in the way they behave towards each other and visitors. Pupils enjoy the extra-curricular clubs they can attend. They can also take part in additional trips, such as a recent visit to Peterborough Cathedral. Pupils are happy to talk about their feelings and worries.

What the school should improve
- Leaders have processes for tackling pupil absence. However, the number of pupils persistently absent from school remains high. Leaders need to ensure that they use robust systems to follow up any absences.
- Some parents feel that leaders do not provide up-to-date information about the school and their child's learning. As a result, some parents do not know how to support their child's learning effectively. Leaders should prioritise improving engagement with parents across the school.
