“The good monitoring system shows that all pupils are currently making good progress from their individual starting points. All year groups are on track to make at least expected progress, with a high proportion predicted to make more than expected progress. The higher than average number of pupils who benefit from pupil premium funding do well at this school, achieving as well as other pupils in the school and nationally.”
