The school has a caring, inclusive ethos, where staff members, regardless of their role in school, put the needs of the p...upils at the heart of everything that they do. The school's promotion of pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good. The quality of teaching and assessment is good.
Expectations for pupils' effort and behaviour are high and lessons are exciting. Consequently, almost all pupils make good progress as they move through the school. Pupils behave well and are kind and courteous to each other and adults.
Their positive attitudes to school are reflected in above-average attendance rates. Governors know the school well, and also its strengths and areas for development. They are relentless in their quest to improve it further.
Outstanding systems and procedures for keeping pupils safe are fully in place. Pupils display a mature understanding of how to keep themselves and others safe.
