Pupils feel safe in school. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Teaching is not outstanding and consequently is not leading to outstanding progress for all groups, especially the most able. The school does not place the same emphasis on promoting cultural development as successfully as it does, social, moral and spiritual.
Not enough opportunity is given for younger pupils to develop and extend their answers in class. Subject leaders are not having sufficient impact on raising standards further.
