They enjoy their lessons and talking about their learning. Leaders have high expectation for what pupils can achieve, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children are provided with a flying start to their education in the early years. Most pupils achieve well in the subjects they learn across the school. Pupils enjoy the visitors to the school who support the curriculum and the clubs they attend. Pupils make an active contribution to school life through the numerous responsibilities they hold.

What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers are not clear about the most important knowledge pupils should learn. As a result, the work given to pupils does not always enable them to understand and retain key knowledge sufficiently well. Leaders should ensure that all teachers have the skills to deliver the curriculum effectively.
