Through the curriculum, pupils develop impressive knowledge about citizenship. They have very well-structured opportunities to become ambassadors for a range of subjects. They also experience democracy through voting for the school council. Pupils are very well prepared to become informed citizens of modern Britain. Children in the Nursery and Reception classes flourish in the school. They learn the routines of school very well. Children develop very strong language skills through the curriculum. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) thrive through bespoke support. Pupils' attitudes towards learning are impeccable.

What the school should improve
- Leaders do not consistently ensure that staff adapt the ways in which they teach some parts of the curriculum. Where this is so, some pupils do not learn with the same success and confidence as they do in others. Leaders must ensure that staff make suitable adaptations so that all pupils learn successfully.
