Success of the Curriculum: Pupils' spiritual, moral, social, and cultural issues are promoted particularly well through attractive classroom displays and themed events.

Performance in Maths & Reading: Attainment is broadly average by the end of Year 6. National test results suggested girls were doing better than boys in reading and writing and this gap has been closed.
Support for SEND Pupils: Disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs do as well as their peers because staff make suitable adjustments to materials and activities.

Extracurricular Activities: The curriculum is enriched by productions, guest speakers, themed events, and clubs ranging from the 鈥榃ow鈥� writing club to dance.
Outdoor Facilities: The sensory garden with its shrubs and toadstools and attractive seated area provides an area for quiet reflection and the study of various eco-systems.
Teacher Engagement: Typically, teaching is good and sometimes better, and regularly enthuses pupils with a love of learning or appreciation of how learning relates to their present and future lives.
Impact on Student Progress: Teaching is characterised by thorough planning, secure subject knowledge, high expectations and good use of assessment to support learning.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Teachers do not always engage pupils consistently as active participants, or make sufficient use of probing questioning.
