Pupils are confident that staff will listen to them if they have any concerns or worries. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe. Pupils rise to leaders' high expectations of their behaviour. They behave well and treat each other with respect. If bullying should happen, leaders and teachers sort it out swiftly. Leaders expect pupils to succeed academically. Pupils benefit from a well-designed curriculum across the school. This helps them to achieve well. Children in the early years learn to be curious and independent. They are ready for the demands of key stage 1. Older pupils are well prepared for secondary school. Pupils enjoy a vast array of opportunities to develop their character and interests. For example, pupils learn about the importance of treating people equally, irrespective of their differences. Pupils' conduct embodies the school's values. Pupils excel in sporting activities. They appreciate the importance of being active and physically healthy.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, some teachers do not adapt the delivery of the curriculum for pupils with SEND well enough. This prevents some pupils with SEND from learning as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that teachers across the curriculum are well equipped to support pupils with SEND to know and remember all that they should.
- Some older pupils do not read as fluently and accurately as they should. This hinders how well these pupils access the wider curriculum. Leaders should ensure that staff support these pupils to gain the knowledge that they need to read confidently and fluently.
