They demonstrate important values such as empathy, respect and tolerance in their day-to-day interactions with one another. Pupils feel confident and secure. Children in the early years enjoy working alongside older pupils. Pupils enjoy their learning and work hard. They consider that teachers prepare them well for their next stages of education.

What the school should improve

• In a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not make clear the most important things that pupils need to know. Teachers do not teach, and pupils do not learn, the most important content in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum, across all subjects, sets out the most important knowledge that pupils should learn and supports teachers with clear guidance to help them deliver this curriculum effectively.
