They enjoy the many activities the school provides at playtime and lunchtime. Pupils know they can share any worries with staff and that staff will listen to them.”

“Pupils’ personal development is a strength. They are given a wide range of opportunities to learn beyond the classroom. The school provides many experiences that develop and enrich pupils’ character, mental health, well-being and physical health such as climbing, yoga and visits from medical professionals. Pupils talk confidently and articulately about how to keep themselves safe.”

“The school has created an ambitious, broad and balanced curriculum for pupils. The school has carefully considered the important knowledge it wants pupils to learn. It is broken down into small steps that build as pupils move through the year groups.”

“Staff benefit from high-quality training to expertly teach phonics. Pupils read books that match the sounds they know. They practise and embed what they are learning. Leaders keep an accurate and careful track of the sounds pupils do not know. They use this information to plan support for those who need extra practice.”

“Children in the early years are excited to learn. They enjoy the range of learning activities available both indoors and outdoors.”
