School Description

This is a rapidly improving school. Recent work to improve the curriculum, supported by the trust, is having a positive impact. However, the quality of teaching in essential areas, such as reading, writing, and mathematics, still needs to improve as reflected in the published low outcomes for pupils. Positive relationships between pupils and staff are very important here. Staff often go to great lengths to support pupils and their families. Pupils speak highly of the adults and show great respect towards them. Any unkind behaviour, such as bullying, is dealt with quickly and sensitively. As a result, pupils are happy at this welcoming school, where differences between people are valued and nurtured. They feel safe and have confidence in staff to address any concerns on the rare occasions this is needed. Personal development is a particular strength of the school’s offer. The school’s values of inclusivity, teamwork, kindness, respect, resilience, and creativity run through everything it does. Pupils are taught how to work and play together nicely. They behave well and take pride in their work. Pupils are given a wide range of opportunities to develop talents and interests. They are also encouraged to take on positions of responsibility to support their school community.
