They respond positively to encouragement and praise from staff. As a result, in lessons, pupils complete learning activities keenly, which helps them achieve well. Pupils value gaining house points in recognition of their efforts and successes. Pupils excitedly look forward to the weekly 'sparkle' assemblies, which celebrate individual successes with the whole school. The school promotes participation for all. The school's many clubs and trips provide pupils with new experiences. Pupils proudly represent their houses in a range of competitions, including sports events.

What the school should improve

  • The curriculum does not securely develop some pupils' knowledge of how to use grammar and punctuation or to spell with accuracy. This means that these pupils use grammar and punctuation incorrectly and spell words incorrectly. The school needs to ensure that its newly launched curriculum changes support all pupils in developing a secure understanding of grammar, punctuation and spelling.
