She has built a stable and effective staff team. Their hard work and dedication have brought about improvements across the school in the past two years. Leaders have a comprehensive understanding of the school's strengths and weaknesses and work tirelessly to ensure sustained improvement in pupils' experience and their attainment and progress.

All members of staff are supportive of pupils' welfare and development. The school is committed to the inclusion of all pupils. Staff work hard to ensure that all pupils attend school regularly and their needs are met.

Pupi...ls are proud of their school and enjoy their time here. They aspire to do well. A consistent approach from all members of staff ensures that they behave well and are sensitive to the needs of others.

The vigilance of all staff ensures that they are safe and happy. The leaders of all curriculum areas are enthusiastic and have good subject knowledge. As a result, the curriculum has been carefully planned and is broad and balanced.

However, senior leaders are aware that outcomes for pupils need to be more closely monitored. English and mathematics are well planned and assessed throughout the school.
