Teachers and support staff care about pupils and help them to do their best. Leaders and staff have high expectations for what pupils should achieve and how they behave. Teachers are passionate about their subjects and this, in turn, increases pupils' interest in their studies. Pupils are happy and feel safe. They are confident that if they have a problem, there will be someone to talk to. They get the help they need.

What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not understand how the assessment systems help them to know and remember more of the curriculum over time. This means that these pupils do not remember as much of the curriculum as they could. Leaders should ensure that all pupils understand and use the assessment system, to help them know and remember more of the curriculum.
