In lessons, pupils are eager to share their ideas. They have positive attitudes to learning. Adults support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities well. These pupils well access learning alongside their peers and contribute to class discussions. Adults manage behaviour effectively so that pupils learn without disruption.

What the school should improve
- Over time, pupils have not experienced a well-designed curriculum. As a result, there are gaps in what pupils know and can do. This hinders pupils' ability to build their knowledge. The trust needs to ensure that the gaps are identified and adapt learning so that pupils know more and remember more across all curriculum subjects.
