Pupils are proud to attend this school. It is a friendly and welcoming place. The broad and ambitious curriculum encompasses Islamic studies as well as a range of other subjects. Leaders have high aspirations for pupils. Pupils understand these aspirations. They are enthusiastic learners and keen to achieve their best. The school is highly valued by the local Muslim community. The religious ethos is successfully woven throughout the curriculum. It is at the heart of pupils' exemplary behaviour and attitudes. Pupils develop their understanding of spiritual, cultural and moral issues well. They benefit from various enrichment activities and experiences. They acquire vital first-aid skills, learn different sports and enjoy singing nasheeds. Pupils enjoy school and attend well. They are polite and respectful. There are warm, positive relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils feel safe. Poor behaviour or bullying are not an issue in this school. They are not tolerated. The school's shared vision for pupils to become, calm, caring and considerate individuals is being realised. Pupils understand the systems in place to help them to manage their behaviour. They relish the opportunity to earn vouchers to spend in the Friday tuck shop in recognition of their pleasing behaviour, attendance and achievements.

What the school should improve

• Some curriculum content is not revisited often enough. This means that pupils struggle to confidently remember important knowledge. The school should ensure that there are frequent opportunities for pupils to revisit important curriculum content.
