The exceptional leadership of the headteacher, the staff team and governors has created a climate of high expectations, a love of learning and an insistence on the very best for every pupil. Teachers use assessment information with expertise to ensure that they cater for every pupil’s learning needs. As a result, pupils make outstanding progress. Pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities thrive. Many barriers to learning are removed to ensure they make outstanding progress from their starting points.

They make a valuable contribution to its development, and play a central role in ensuring that everyone is welcome and well cared for. Behaviour is exemplary and pupils conduct themselves impeccably around the school. Pupils typically think school is ‘amazing’ and feel very safe; parents agree.

The quantity of self-evaluation and school development documentation sometimes makes it difficult for governors to assess the impact of actions quickly. |
