The school is ambitious for the achievement of its pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils display positive attitudes towards their learning. They achieve well in most subjects. Pupils are polite and well mannered. They are confident and articulate, including when speaking with visitors. Classrooms are typically calm. This helps pupils to do their best in lessons. Pupils have a clear understanding of fundamental British values. They are aware of the differences between people and that it is important to respect everyone equally. They have a keen sense of fairness and said that everyone is included at their school. Pupils revel in their leadership responsibilities, including acting as happiness ambassadors or members of the school parliament. An increasing number of educational visits enhance pupils' learning across the curriculum. Pupils enjoy attending a wide range of after-school clubs, including athletics, dance and choir.

What the school should improve

• In some subjects, staff do not help pupils to recap their learning well enough. As a result, some pupils are less able to remember what they have previously been taught. The school should ensure that staff provide greater opportunities for pupils to recall what they have been taught so that they can know and remember more over time.
