Strengths:

• Pupils benefit from a strong curriculum in reading, writing, and mathematics, and achieve well in these subjects.
• Pupils enjoy coming to school and show an enthusiasm for learning.

• The school has a broad and balanced programme for personal development, with pupils confident in their understanding of healthy relationships and how to keep themselves safe.

Areas to improve:

• In some foundation subjects, the resources and activity choices are not matched carefully enough to the important knowledge that the school wants pupils to learn, meaning that pupils are not remembering the curriculum in the long term.
• Some pupils do not attend school as often as they should, missing out on important learning and personal development.
