Strengths
- “This is a friendly and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, arrive each morning smiling and ready to learn.”

To improve
- “In 2022, the proportion of Year 6 pupils meeting the expected standard in writing and science was lower than the national average.”
- “In a small number of subjects, pupils do not build on their prior learning as well as they could.”
- “Some pupils’ recall of their previous learning in these subjects remains superficial.”
