Pupils feel safe and valued in this warm and welcoming school. Adults care deeply about pupils' wellbeing. Pupils trust staff to look after them and know exactly who to turn to if they need help. Relationships are very positive, pupils get along well and bullying is uncommon. When it does occur, pupils are confident that adults take it seriously and resolve it quickly. Pupils behave well. There is a strong team ethos that underpins daily life, helping pupils to treat one another with kindness and respect. From the moment they join, pupils benefit from focused support that helps them settle quickly and thrive. Leaders have high aspirations for every pupil's achievement, rooted firmly in the school's values. Focused support reduces barriers to learning, ensuring that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities or who are disadvantaged, make secure progress from their starting points. Pupils show courage when learning something new, and they rise to the challenge with determination. Pupils attend regularly. Pupils enjoy their learning. The curriculum is designed carefully to help them achieve well, and they take pride in their work. The school works closely with families, establishing effective partnerships to ensure that pupils receive consistent encouragement. Beyond the classroom, pupils take part in a wide range of enriching activities. For example, they make candles and craft books, sing in the choir or learn to play the ukulele. These activities broaden pupils' interests and build their confidence. Pupils appreciate the many opportunities to be active citizens. They take on a range of leadership roles that help to shape a positive and inclusive school community. Whether supporting younger pupils or contributing to school projects, pupils approach their roles with enthusiasm and maturity. These experiences, combined with the school's nurturing environment, mean pupils thoroughly enjoy coming to school and leave well prepared for the next stage of their education.

What the school should improve

• Leaders should ensure that subject curriculums are implemented as intended. They should take action to address any weaknesses in curriculum delivery.
• Leaders should ensure that staff use assessment strategies consistently well to identify misconceptions and gaps in pupils' knowledge and adapt learning to address these effectively.
