They say that adults act quickly to sort out any problems. Pupils enjoy all the clubs the school provides for them. They thoroughly enjoy all the additional educational visits and experience days.

What the school should improve
- Teachers have not yet taught some aspects of the new curriculum. Leaders' monitoring of these aspects of the curriculum is less well developed. Leaders should continue to implement and evaluate the delivery of the new curriculum, making improvements as needs arise.
- Parents are pleased with most aspects of the school, but a few raise concerns about communication between home and school. School leaders should identify the best ways of improving communication so that parents understand what and how their children learn, as well as keeping track of school events and activities.
