Success of the Curriculum: Achievement is good, and pupils’ attainment is broadly average.

Performance in Maths & Reading: Reading skills are improving in Key Stage 1, particularly in Year 2.
Support for Falling Behind: Disabled pupils and those with special educational needs receive very good support.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils' behaviour is outstanding, they have very positive attitudes to learning and feel very safe.
Support for SEND Pupils: Disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs make good progress, as their work is targeted closely to meet individual needs.

Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Pupils feel very safe and attendance has rapidly improved.
Parent Feedback: Parents and carers have positive views about the quality of education provided.
