Overview

Nearly all pupils make good progress, developing creativity, independence, and ambition while benefiting from strong partnerships with parents and the local community.

Strengths

• Pupils are "respectful, enthusiastic, and happy," developing a secure understanding of their learning and using feedback to improve.
• The school’s approach to developing thinking skills allows pupils to "make decisions, organise their learning and contribute effectively to the curriculum."
• Staff provide effective support for individual needs, fostering resilience and ensuring pupils "feel safe and listened to."
• Strong collaborations with local charities and businesses enrich the curriculum and support well-being.
