This is a happy school with a strong sense of community. Older pupils are positive role models to younger pupils. They make sure children in the Reception Year have enjoyable lunchtimes. They talk and eat with them in the dining hall. They set up and lead playtime games that pupils across the school take part in. This helps pupils to play well together, and they enjoy coming to school. Pupils feel safe at school. They trust staff to help them with any concerns they have. Staff know pupils well. The positive relationships that staff build with pupils helps them to get the support they need to settle well into their work. Pupils behave well. They are polite and kind towards each other and staff. They move around the school in a calm and orderly manner. Pupils engage well in their work. From the Reception Year, children know the expectations and follow routines well. The school is ambitious for pupils to achieve well. It has an accurate understanding of the work required to improve the curriculum. However, this work is at an early stage of development. Weaknesses in the curriculum design and how it is taught mean that pupils do not always achieve as well as they should.
