Pupils say that their teachers are 'amazing'. They really like seeing the smiles on the faces of staff when they arrive each morning. Community links are strong and support the school very well. Leaders at all levels demonstrate a clear vision for the school. This is built around the values of compassion, honesty, integrity, respect and perseverance. The school focuses strongly on encouraging pupils to aspire to be independent, responsible citizens. Pupils rise to the high expectations set for them. They work hard and achieve well. Relationships and respect are strengths of the school. Pupils behave well, and this helps the school to be a happy place to learn. Pupils enjoy the many opportunities to play and learn outside, including in the school's woodland area. They learn how to manage risks independently because the school ensures they understand how to stay safe during independent activities. Pupils really like the changes that have been made at lunchtimes. They say they feel much happier now. They enjoy the musical opportunities and range of trips and events.

What the school should improve
- The use of assessment is not yet fully in place to support the refinement of the curriculum in all subjects. This means pupils do not always retain the knowledge needed to build on learning. Leaders need to develop the assessments further to ensure pupils' understanding is retained and built upon over time.
