Staff are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils understand the high expectations that the school has for their achievement. They are keen to learn and participate fully in lessons. Many pupils achieve well across much of the curriculum. There are many extra-curricular clubs to develop pupils' talents and interests.

What the school should improve

  • Recently, the school has put in place a consistent approach for teaching handwriting. However, some pupils continue to struggle to write with fluency and accuracy. The school should ensure that pupils are provided with the support they need to become confident and capable writers, so that they are well prepared for the next steps.
