Areas Needing Improvement: More work is needed in modern foreign languages, RE, and geography to strengthen the curriculum.
Performance in Maths & Reading: Current pupils are making much stronger progress, especially in reading, writing, and mathematics.
Support for Falling Behind: Assessment information is analysed every half term, and at-risk pupils are well supported to catch up.
