- “Pupils behave exceptionally well in classrooms and on the playground, rising to meet the school's high expectations.”
- “Relationships remain warm and nurturing.”
To improve
- “By the end of key stage 2, pupils achieve more highly in reading than writing, so leaders prioritise writing as a key area for improvement.”

- “However, pupils' recall of key content from RSE lessons is not always secure and detailed.”
