One parent, sharing the views of many parents and carers, reflected that the school is a 'fantastic school community which feels like a family.' The school is aspirational for its pupils. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from a well-thought-out and ambitious curriculum. Pupils demonstrate positive attitudes to learning. They enjoy working with each other in lessons and learning in a variety of ways. The school sets clear expectations for behaviour and helps pupils to abide by these in a caring and compassionate manner. Pupils develop a strong sense of character.

What the school should improve
- Routines for checking pupils' learning are not applied consistently across the school. At times, teachers do not check carefully enough that pupils are secure in their learning before moving on. When this happens, sometimes, misconceptions are not identified or corrected. Occasionally, pupils do not get the time or help they need to improve their work. The school should ensure that staff routinely check on pupils' learning and adapt their teaching appropriately to ensure any gaps or misconceptions in pupils' understanding are quickly resolved.
