Ofsted report
“Pupils make good progress in reading, writing and mathematics. Teaching is typically good and some is outstanding. All staff share a clear commitment to raising standards and improving teaching and learning. Pupils have positive attitudes and enjoy learning and coming to school. They behave well, and often in an exemplary manner. The headteacher and the other leaders are taking effective action to further raise the quality of teaching and consequently the rate at which pupils progress. Disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs are well supported and make good progress because of well-chosen personalised support, and because teachers adjust their lesson plans to ensure they are able to work successfully alongside their classmates.”
