This school does an excellent job. It sets high expectations and provides consistent, purposeful routines for all. This enables pupils to settle in quickly, make the most of lessons and experience success. Pupils know what to expect. They feel safe and secure at school. Behaviour is excellent. On the playground and in classrooms, pupils respect others and get along well. They are attentive to their teachers, friendly to their classmates and enjoy school. The school's attention to reading, writing, speaking and mathematics is exemplary. This leads to exceptional progress through the curriculum. By the end of Year 2, standards are high. Staff are clear with their expectations. They are kind and make everyone feel valued. They celebrate diversity and recognise each pupil's unique character, talents and potential. This creates a sense of belonging, builds self-confidence and lifts aspirations. This individual attention also shows in the tailored support for pupils' different needs. Whether pupils are racing ahead with learning or need specialist support to catch up, staff provide them with excellent tuition and support. Consequently, pupils are very well prepared to succeed at junior school. Parents are full of praise for the school. They value its successful attention to their children's academic progress and emotional well-being.
