They care deeply about their community and have a well-developed understanding of the history of the local village. For example, pupils are helping to regenerate a memorial garden and commemorate local military personnel, who fought in the Second World War. Pupils benefit from many rich opportunities that enhance their learning. For example, Year 6 pupils look forward to outdoor activities during a residential trip.

What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the strategies used by staff to help pupils to remember more of their learning are not as effective as they should be. Due to this, some pupils have gaps in their learning which are not addressed. The school should ensure that staff receive the support that they need to help pupils to know and remember more.
