Pupils are polite and courteous, greeting visitors with a smile. They understand the school rules and follow them well, both in and out of the classroom.

Pupils feel safe. They value the positive relationships they have with staff. Pupils say that adults listen to them and support them with any worries.

What the school should improve
- Assessment is still being developed in some subjects. It is not yet used well enough to check that pupils have remembered the knowledge they have been taught. As a result, pupils do not build their knowledge well enough over time. The school needs to ensure that teachers use assessment effectively across all subjects and use this information to inform future learning.
