Strengths

- “They do well at this school, and achieve high standards in reading, writing and mathematics.”
- “Pupils like learning new things, such as Latin, which they start at the beginning of Year 3.”
To improve

- “Currently, some foundation subjects are timetabled for very short blocks of time.”
