The school offers a broad and balanced curriculum that is ambitious for all students, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders promote a positive learning environment, encouraging students to enjoy learning and participate in a variety of extracurricular activities. The school's approach to reading is particularly effective, fostering a love of books among pupils, and the academic outcomes in writing have been strong in recent years. Despite its strengths, there are areas for improvement, particularly in certain subjects where the curriculum is not as clearly defined. This can lead to gaps in knowledge and a lack of systematic progression in learning. Additionally, some teachers have gaps in their subject knowledge, which affects the delivery of the curriculum. Leaders are aware of these challenges and are actively working to address them to ensure every pupil achieves their potential.
