Success of the Curriculum: Leaders make aspirations a reality through the quality of the curriculum.
Areas Needing Improvement: Planning for subjects like geography and design and technology is not as developed as reading, writing, and mathematics.

Behaviour and Attitudes: This is a calm and orderly school where pupils rarely misbehave and are kind and considerate.
