Teachers provide worthwhile opportunities for pupils to practise their literacy, numeracy and digital skills and apply these in rich and authentic tasks across the curriculum.

Governors work well alongside senior leaders to carry out their statutory duties. However, governors do not have a secure enough understanding of pupils' progress and standards.
