The school checks pupils' understanding and supports them to secure their knowledge. Pupils achieve well in their learning. Pupils are proud to represent the school in sports competitions, including a swimming gala, a rugby tournament and on sports day.

What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not form letters or spell words correctly. This affects how accurately and effectively they communicate in their written work. The school is aware of this and has put plans in place to address this. However, these plans are at an early stage of being implemented. The trust should ensure that these plans have the desired impact so that pupils build writing fluency and spelling accuracy.
