Success of the Curriculum: The school has established an ambitious curriculum. Leaders have identified the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn.
Areas Needing Improvement: On occasion, the way in which the curriculum is adapted to meet the needs of some groups of pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and pupils with SEND, is not as successful as it could be.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Teachers have good subject knowledge. They explain learning well. For example, in mathematics, teachers clearly model how to solve calculations.
