• 􏰀Pupils’ attitudes are consistently positive in lessons and contribute very well to their learning. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of education.

• 􏰀Pupils are extremely well behaved, polite and have excellent manners. They feel very safe and are exceptionally well cared for by all the staff.

• 􏰀Staff demonstrate outstanding relationships and the children follow this example exceedingly well.

• 􏰀Work in books shows that pupils have great pride in what they do. They are taught well and benefit from skilful interventions and good questioning from their teachers.

• The school provides all the pupils with a rich, nurturing school environment in which to grow and develop well as British citizens.

• Pupils achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics, particularly in Key Stage 1. Their improving progress is leading to rising results in Key Stage 2.
