In the inspectors' and the school's words
- Academic

Pupils are well prepared for entry to secondary schools and achieve a range of scholarships in this process.
However, in some lessons, teaching does not always challenge and stretch pupils to deepen their understanding as much as possible.
[6] - Warmth
-
They develop warm and caring relationships with the pupils.
[6] - Pastoral care
-
Leaders have established a variety of support mechanisms, such as wellbeing drop-in sessions and themed zones around the school, to support pupils’ emotional wellbeing.
[6] - Behaviour
-
This leads to pupils behaving with kindness and respect.

The school has identified 41 pupils as having special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
[6] - Enrichment
