If pupils have worries, they are confident staff will help them. Staff encourage pupils to be healthy, both physically and mentally. Leaders are visible and approachable to parents and carers, who are highly supportive of the school. Parents shared that staff provide great care towards their children and make everyone feel welcome. Pupils follow the school's routines extremely well in the early years. The breadth of opportunity for pupils' personal development is rich and varied. Pupils attend many clubs and enjoy a range of educational visits.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, teaching does not identify and address misconceptions in pupils' learning securely. This limits pupils' deeper learning of subject content. The school needs to ensure that pupils' knowledge and understanding are systematically checked so they are fully prepared for future content.
