Any pupils in danger of falling behind, or who need extra help, are identified quickly and given support to help them catch up. The most-able alwa...ys rise to the challenge of demanding work and their achievement is outstanding. Pupils respond enthusiastically to interesting tasks.

The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress in English and mathematics.
