The school threads moral and social education very well through all aspects of the curriculum. Pupils are encouraged to think deeply about the actions of historical and current day figures and how lessons can be learned from their actions. Pupils can do this with impressive maturity, even at a young age.
Pupils learn to read without delay. Phonics teaching supports all pupils to do so confidently. Pupils can apply their skills to decode unknown words with limited adult support.

This helps them to understand the power of their voice, how it can be used for good and to affect positive change. It is a praiseworthy aspect of the school's work and helps them develop into the respectful pupils that they are.
The school is very well led.
Staff work together as a highly performing team. They feel very well supported and trained to provide the best education they can. Governors are committed, skilled and insightful.
