Pupils thrive in this caring and supportive school. The school's motto, 'have faith, flourish and fly high', is deeply rooted across the school. Pupils feel safe and are valued. Staff encourage pupils and strive to meet their individual needs. Pupils benefit greatly from this daily support. They trust staff to listen to them and to help to solve any problems they share.

Pupils show positive attitudes to learning. Staff create calm, purposeful classrooms that help pupils to stay focused. Pupils understand the school's rules and follow them well. Playtimes are enjoyable and friendly. Pupils form positive relationships with each other. Pupils take part in a wide range of clubs and trips and take on leadership roles. These activities build their confidence and social skills. Pupils particularly enjoy sports tournaments. These experiences nurture their interests and talents.

What the school should improve
- Teachers do not always ensure that some pupils' reading books accurately match their reading and phonics knowledge. This means that these pupils are not always able to read the books independently and this affects their reading fluency. The school should ensure that pupils' reading books match their reading and phonics understanding so that they become confident and fluent readers.
