Pupils appreciate the variety of experiences they have in the classroom and beyond. They enjoy sharing what they have learned with visitors and are eager to find out about the lives of others. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful. Pupils are happy and feel safe. They have confidence in the way that staff manage behaviour. Pupils know that if they have any problems, an adult will listen to them. They say that bullying occasionally happens but, when it does, staff deal with it effectively.

What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school has not outlined precisely what it is that pupils need to know and remember. This means that pupils do not build confidently on what they already know or prepare for what comes next. In these subjects, the school should identify the key curriculum content that will support pupils to build their knowledge over time.
