They explained that teachers respond quickly to any concerns or requests for help. When bullying happens, staff deal with it and effectively. Leaders and staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Most pupils behave well and, as a result, most lessons are calm and orderly. Pupils enjoy celebrating their positive behaviour and working towards their bronze, silver and gold behaviour awards. Leaders expect pupils to achieve well. Pupils and children benefit from a well- thought-out curriculum. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils have many opportunities to develop their talents and interests through a wide variety of extra-curricular clubs such as cooking, dance, choir, rugby and athletics. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) enjoy all parts of school life fully.

What the school should improve
- Some children and pupils find reading difficult. This is because the books that some teachers give to children and pupils do not match the sounds that they have learned. As a result, some pupils do not read as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that pupils practise their reading using appropriate, well-matched books.
