- “This blends harmoniously together to create a community that pupils love.”
To improve

- “Pupils' attitudes to learning during lessons are very positive, although this active engagement wanes slightly in some younger classes.”
- “In some classes this needs to embed further so that all pupils receive highly effective teaching more consistently.”
