Pupils say they are proud and happy to be part of this inclusive school. Parents say they appreciate the nurturing environment.

At lunchtime, play leaders proudly organise games for the younger children who learn from their Year 6 role models. Pupils say teachers make learning fun. They enjoy reading and listen avidly as teachers read to them during daily story times. Teachers expect pupils to do well. They make sure that there are activities to challenge pupils to think hard. Help is available so everybody can learn. This is reflected in the results pupils achieve. Pupils and staff build strong relationships, they talk of the school as a family. Pupils are keen to follow the school's rules. They know that the traffic light system will be used, if needed, to remind pupils how to behave. They say this rarely needs to happen.
What the school should improve
- In a very small number of foundation subjects, knowledge, skills and endpoints are not as clearly identified as they are in other subjects. This means that in these subjects teachers do not always ensure that pupils secure the necessary knowledge. As a result, some pupils do not always progress as well as they do in others. The school must ensure that knowledge, skills and endpoints are precise in all subjects and this supports pupils to know more and do more.
