This school is at the very heart of its local community. Pupils experience a compassionate and friendly environment in which they feel safe and can learn well.

Leaders have created a culture in which pupils grow to develop their character and be part of the school community. Pupils work together very well in lessons. They display very positive attitudes to their learning and the subjects they study. Pupils enjoy breaktimes. They play together well and know the routines. Children in Nursery and Reception show sustained interest in what they do. They enjoy engaging in a variety of activities that help them get ready for further learning. Pupils live up to the high expectations that the staff have for them. They know if things go wrong, staff will be there to support and guide them. Pupils speak confidently of the help they receive from adults and know who to go to if they need to. They have a variety of opportunities to contribute to the life of the school. Pupils of all ages contribute as well- being champions and represent the school in a wide variety of sports. Older pupils can be part of the mini senior leadership team, who have an active role in school life.
What the school should improve
- The recent curriculum changes in all foundation subjects are in the earlier stages of implementation. Consequently, pupils cannot consistently recall what they have learned in these subjects over time. The school should ensure that pupils are able to know and remember the key knowledge they are taught in the foundation subjects.
