Strengths

- “Leaders have established an ambitious curriculum that pupils enjoy learning.”
- “Pupils achieve well and secure the important knowledge that they need for their future lives.”
To improve
- “Although persistent absence increased for some disadvantaged pupils last year, leaders have tackled this very effectively.”

- “While children in the early years achieve well overall, many would benefit from more complex tasks to challenge them and build on what they already know.”
