Strengths:

• Pupils are proud to be part of their school community and enjoy learning.
• Pupils behave well and develop a positive attitude towards school.
• The school promotes pupils' personal development well through the curriculum and wider opportunities.
• Pupils are respectful and kind towards each other.
• The school prioritises reading and encourages all pupils to use their reading skills in all areas of the curriculum.

Areas to improve:

• In some subjects, pupils have too few opportunities to practise and apply what they have learned, and do not secure the key knowledge they have been taught.
• In a few subjects, teachers' subject knowledge is still being secured, which means they do not always make the most appropriate adaptations to lesson plans as part of the curriculum.

Safeguarding:

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
