- “The school lives out its mission ‘that every child is provided with the best opportunities to be successful citizens of the future.”
- “Pupils take part in a wide range of enrichment activities to gain valuable life experiences.”
To improve
- “However, leaders have correctly identified that teaching in some subjects does not routinely return and secure previous knowledge before moving on to new content.”

- “The school is in the process of strengthening this support for pupils to improve their fluency.”
