They learn how to stay safe online and in the wider community. Children in the early years have an excellent start to their education. They develop positive learning behaviours, independence and resilience. Children concentrate on tasks for sustained periods of time. They interact well with each other and thrive in a vibrant learning environment. Children are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education.

What the school should improve
- The school has not fully identified where links can be made within and across different subjects in the curriculum. As a result, pupils do not gain the depth of understanding they require to make connections between their current and prior learning. The school should ensure that pupils can make connections between their prior and current learning in all subjects so that they can deepen their knowledge of the curriculum.
