The curriculum allows pupils to develop their reading, writing and mathematics effectively through a range of subjects.
The overall quality of teaching and learning is good. Leaders have a clear understanding of the areas of strengths and weaknesses. They provide suitable training which supports teachers to review and refine their approaches.
Pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those that are disadvantaged make good progress. Staff provide a wide range of support for pupils’ learning and well-being.
Children in the early years access a vibrant and encouraging learning environment which helps them to make good progress.
While leaders and governors are committed to the school, they do not all have a consistent overview of how well it is doing.

– developing and embedding leaders’ strategies to raise attainment in reading.

Develop leadership and management by:

– ensuring that governors are provided with higher-quality information with which to hold school leaders to account
