They are proud of what they learn and enjoy talking about their lessons. The school's values of resilience, honesty, creativity, respect, excellence and kindness guide daily life.

They learn alongside their friends and take part in all aspects of school life. Staff have high expectations. They help pupils believe in themselves.

What the school should improve
- In writing, the curriculum is not as well sequenced as it is in reading and mathematics. This makes it harder for pupils to build on what they already know and use their writing skills accurately. The school should make sure that writing tasks build on each other in a clear order so that pupils can write more effectively.
- Some staff do not have the specific expertise needed to support pupils at the earliest stages of communication. As a result, some pupils with SEND do not receive the targeted support they need to learn key language and interaction skills. The school should ensure that staff are equipped to meet the communication needs of these pupils.
