The school is welcoming and caring, and pupils enjoy learning here. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Most pupils progress through the curriculum and achieve well. The school is calm and orderly. There are positive relationships between staff and pupils. Staff use praise well to reinforce the school's expectations. Most pupils behave well in lessons.

The school develops pupils' characters effectively. Staff encourage pupils to develop their 'character muscles'. In assemblies, staff discuss the character traits they want pupils to develop and then support them with strategies to do this. For example, in collective worship, pupils discussed how they could be respectful of others. The school provides many opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. Pupils enjoy attending clubs such as choir, dodgeball, multi-sports, football, chess and dance. They also participate in charity fundraising events and visit the local residential home.

What the school should improve
- At times, some teachers do not use the school's agreed-upon approach to delivering the curriculum effectively. On occasions, they do not explain new learning clearly or check for understanding carefully enough, which means some pupils do not learn as well as they could in some subjects. The school should ensure that teachers use the school's agreed approach to delivering the curriculum effectively.
