Leaders track pupils' progress and attainment closely in reading, writing and mathematics.

For other subjects, this is in the very early stages and is not yet fully developed. In 2017, too few pupils achieved greater depth in mathematics at key stage 1 and the higher standard at key stage 2. Leaders have introduced new approaches to teaching mathematics, but it is too soon to see their impact.

Children in the early years get off to a good start. Outcomes have remained consistently above the national average for several years. The early years outdoor area is underdeveloped.
