Additional funding is used well in key stages 1 and 2. Pupils with specia...l educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils receive effective support. Governors understand the strengths and weaknesses of the school's performance and hold leaders to account effectively.

There is a strong safeguarding culture within the school. Staff prioritise pupils' safety and well-being. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour.
