Pupils are happy at this inclusive school. Warm and caring relationships with adults help pupils to feel safe. Staff get to know pupils well.

The school's values, including teamwork and ambition, are central to school life. Pupils learn to collaborate and value everyone's ideas. At breaktimes, pupils of all ages play happily together. The school has high academic aspirations for pupils. Pupils live up to these and most achieve well. In lessons, they approach their tasks diligently. They see difficulties as opportunities to learn more. Pupils make valued contributions to their school and local community. They enjoy taking responsibilities through roles such as 'helping hands' at lunchtime, and as school councillors and librarians. Older pupils love to read with younger pupils at their local infant school. This work prepares pupils to become active citizens. Pupils benefit from many extra-curricular activities, which develop their wider interests. These include fencing, boccia and singing in the school choir.
What the school should improve
- In some curriculum subjects, what the school expects pupils to learn is not precisely identified. This means that pupils do not always learn the most important curriculum content. The school should continue to review the curriculum so that pupils are able to learn and remember the most important knowledge securely.
- Assessment processes in a few subjects in the wider curriculum are still being developed. In these subjects, the school does not have a clear enough picture of how well pupils are learning the intended curriculum. This leads to gaps in some pupils' knowledge and understanding. The school should ensure that the assessment approach in each subject provides information about pupils' learning so that the curriculum can be adapted to meet their needs more effectively.
