  • The school diligent and tenacious in its approach to safeguarding. We use our breadth of knowledge well to engage a range of external support services to meet pupils’ needs.   Systems and procedures are robust.
  • Most parents agreed that their children are happy to come to school and feel secure. 
  • Skilled teaching assistants were seen to provide appropriate support for those pupils who needed help.
  • Teachers use the curriculum well to engage pupils in exciting writing tasks.

Areas for further development:

Leaders and those responsible for governance should ensure that:
​
1.  refine the skills of all subject leaders so they are able to check with greater precision the implementation and impact of improvements in their areas of responsibility.

2. they improve pupils’ progress in English and mathematics, by making sure that the new methods of teaching these subjects become established across the school and are effective.​
