They feel extremely safe in school. Relationships in lessons are very positive. The headteacher and other leaders aim high and as a result no pupil is disadvantaged or left behind.

Leaders have a very accurate picture of the school's strengths and areas for improvement. The frequent checks on the q...uality of teaching are robust. Plans and staff training to make the school better are highly successful.

Leaders have sustained pupils' rapid progress over several years. The school has an excellent capacity to improve further. The governing body provides outstanding challenge and support and makes sure that that the school meets all legal requirements.

Leaders have yet to provide a regular summary of pupils' progress in each subject so that other staff and governors have a timely view of achievement across the school.
