Behaviour across the school is impeccable and pupils are polite and helpful to one another as well as towards staff and visitors. They are caring and supportive of one another and this is very evident during group or pair work so that they contribute actively to one another’s learning.

The provision in the early years is outstanding. Children are highly engaged in well-structured and interesting activities. The environment is rich and purposeful across all areas hence stimulating children’s learning and development.

The school’s curriculum is ambitious and this is evident in a number of ways. Firstly, the sheer breath and depth of the provision is outstanding. Not only are all required subjects and content stipulated in the National Curriculum covered, but subjects include so much more through the enrichment activities such as trips and visits and by overlaying the statutory curriculum with rich and diverse content to reflect the full range of pupils’ backgrounds.
