“Pupils receive a joyful education at this school.”
“From the moment they join in the early years to when they leave at the end of Year 6, they build safe, trusting and caring relationships with their peers and staff.”
“Pupils talk confidently about the importance of living out the school's values of being 'ready, respectful and responsible'.”

“Leaders recognise that further work is needed to deepen pupils' understanding of cultural diversity, although pupils do develop an understanding of their local heritage through the curriculum and workshops.”
“While there was a slight dip overall in pupils' achievement in mathematics in 2025, leaders acted quickly to address this.”
“However, too few pupils reach the higher standard in national tests, reflecting a need for teachers to deepen pupils' learning.”
