Generally, pupils apply their skills in reading, writing and mathematics well. However, pupils have not fully developed their ability to reason effectively in mathematics. Leaders support pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development well.

Pupils have positive attitudes, and work hard and behave well. In early years, children make good progress. On occasion, children are not challenged sufficiently to apply their skills in reading, writing and mathematics in independent activities.

Governors are committed to the school and to further improving standards. Currently, not all governors are fully involved in monitoring and evaluating the work of the school rigorously enough. Safeguarding is a strength of the school.
