Pupils know these values will help them at school and throughout their lives. Pupils demonstrate excellent behaviour. They concentrate in lessons, responding quickly to adult instruction. Teachers ensure that pupils take an active part in every lesson. The use of individual whiteboards means all pupils answer questions asked by adults.

They enjoy celebrating pupil success in every 'Feel Good Friday' assembly.
What the school should improve
- Staff are getting to know the structure of a new phonics scheme in readiness for its implementation in September 2022. Some teachers have received training but have not yet had an opportunity to teach, with fidelity, the new scheme. Leaders should ensure consistency of practise as staff embed the new scheme.
- Leaders have started to consider how the early years curriculum connects to the rest of the school's curriculum. Some curriculum leaders are at the early stages of knowing how their subject builds knowledge and skills from Nursery Year. Curriculum leaders should work with early years staff to establish the curriculum links from Nursery Year to key stages 1 and 2.
