ACHIEVEMENT

All groups of pupils make outstanding progress due to the very well planned curriculum focusing on the needs of each child.

QUALITY OF TEACHING

The curriculum provides a wide range of rich opportunities for learning and very successfully promotes pupils’ spiritual, moral, cultural and social development, ensuring that pupils are very well prepared for the next stage in their education.

BEHAVIOUR & SAFETY OF PUPILS

Behaviour is excellent across the school because of the consistent approach to behaviour management and the mutual respect that exists between pupils and adults.

LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT

Leadership from the headteacher, senior leaders and governors is excellent.
