The majority of pupils behave well. Pupils from different year groups play happily together at break- and lunchtimes. Pupils describe bullying as 'very rare'. They know that if they have any worries or concerns that staff would listen and act swiftly. Pupils have access to a range of extra-curricular activities, including sports clubs, 'Glee club' and gardening club. All pupils, including children in early years, learn to swim.

What the school should improve
- Leaders have developed a coherently planned and well-sequenced curriculum. However, on occasions, some pupils struggle to recall some of what they have learned before. This means that they are not always able to make links between current and previous learning. Leaders should ensure that pupils remember the curriculum content that they are taught in the longer term.
- A new phonics programme has been recently introduced. It is well sequenced. Pupils remember the sounds that they have learned. However, a small number of pupils continue to sound out words that they are already able to read. As a result, they do not read as fluently as they are able. Leaders should ensure that all pupils get the help they need to become fluent readers as quickly as possible.
