Strengths
- “Pupils arrive at school very keen and enthusiastic to start their day.”

- “Staff care deeply about pupils and welcome them warmly.”
To improve
- “Pupils leaving the school at the end of key stage 2 have not achieved well in the past.”
- “Although current pupils' achievement is improving, it is sometimes hampered by levels of attendance that are not high enough.”
- “Although rates of attendance are rising, too many pupils still miss too many days of school.”
