Success of the Curriculum: Parts of the curriculum, including mathematics and PSHE, are well planned and sequenced.
Areas Needing Improvement: In too many subjects, the curriculum does not clearly outline incremental knowledge acquisition.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Behaviour is positive and pupils understand the behaviour management system.
Performance in Maths & Reading: They read a wide range of texts and work hard in lessons.
Support for Falling Behind: Pupils who need help to follow the school’s rules are supported well by staff and peers.
Support for SEND Pupils: The needs of these pupils have been identified, and the necessary help is outlined clearly in education plans.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils say that they feel safe and that bullying is rare. If bullying occurs, staff deal with it swiftly and effectively.

Extracurricular Activities: Pupils make good use of the range of clubs and activities available, including sporting activities and computing.
Teacher Engagement: Teachers have been trained to deliver the phonics program effectively and it is taught consistently well.
Impact on Student Progress: Some children do not receive the help they need to develop their communication and language skills.
Teaching Staff Challenges: There is an inconsistent expectation of how children should pay attention and respond to adults.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Governors rely too much on senior leaders and do not use a wide enough range of evidence to check on improvements.
