Pupils access a remarkably broad range of clubs each week. These help pupils to keep physically active and to develop their talents and interests.

What the school should improve
- At times, in a small number of subjects, the school does not ensure that teachers check that pupils' knowledge is secure before they introduce new learning. When this happens, pupils do not achieve as well as they could because the building blocks for future learning are not fully in place. The school should provide the support that teachers need to make sure that pupils' new learning is built on secure foundations in these few subjects.
