• A strong focus on reading ensures pupils have access to books daily, with "phonics [being] well taught" and excellent routines established early.
• Curriculums are carefully planned to build knowledge over time, supported by "knowledgeable" subject leaders and detailed guidance for teachers.
• Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported through inclusive practices and the "newly established Butterflies room," with adults who "know pupils with SEND well."
• Staff benefit from "effective training and support," and leaders actively consider their workload and well-being.

Areas to improve

• Enhance curriculum implementation so that lesson tasks consistently enable pupils to "secure intended knowledge" as well as they could.
