The headteacher and deputy headteacher have set high expectations, which are reflected in the positive feedback from parents and improved pupil outcomes. The school's culture celebrates learning through fun, and pupils engage with their studies eagerly, particularly in core subjects like reading, writing, and mathematics. However, the inspection highlighted unfinished curriculum plans in areas like music that require attention to ensure consistency across all subjects.
