Pupils report that bullying does not happen, but if it did, they are confident adults would deal with it. Relationships are warm and caring. Pupils trust teachers and feel able to share any worries or concerns that they may have. Pupils feel safe. They can explain how school routines and the security of the school site help them to stay safe. Pupils are motivated to 'explore, dream and discover'.

What the school should improve
- The curriculum in some foundation subjects is not as well mapped out as it is in others. Leaders need to make sure that staff identify the most important knowledge that pupils need to know and remember, so that pupils learn well across all subjects.
