Pupils rise to these expectations by engaging in lessons. They confidently talk about what they are learning, such as how the Nile supported farming in Ancient Egypt. These expectations help pupils take pride in their work. They build confidence and encourage them to do their best in all subjects. Pupils' behaviour is exceptional.

Staff know the pupils well and build strong, trusting relationships. This supportive environment ensures that pupils feel valued.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, pupils do not always remember the knowledge they have been taught. This is because the curriculum is not sufficiently well sequenced to provide pupils with opportunities to revise and recall prior knowledge. As a result, pupils sometimes struggle to make connections between current and previous learning. The school should ensure that tasks are designed to help pupils retain the knowledge they are intended to learn.
