Pupils are proud to belong to this school. They live out the school's values of endurance, trust and community fully. Pupils said that staff treat everyone as an individual.

Most pupils achieve well. Pupils are overwhelmingly appreciative of the staff. They feel safe, well cared for and happy at school. Pupils behave extremely well during lessons and at social times. They spoke enthusiastically about the school being a welcoming place. Pupils recognise the differences that exist between people. They hold the view that diversity in society helps to make the world a more interesting and exciting place to live. The school fully supports pupils to develop interests beyond the academic curriculum. Pupils are inspired to try new activities or to take part in after-school clubs such as cricket, gardening or singing.

What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, including some areas of learning in the early years, the school has not fully embedded the essential knowledge that children and pupils should learn. This prevents some pupils from acquiring the depth of knowledge that they could across the wider curriculum. The school should ensure that, as these remaining subject curriculums are embedded, teachers are fully equipped to help pupils build future knowledge on firm foundations.
