Hartford Junior School has made significant progress since its last inspection, moving from a series of 'requires improvement' judgments to an overall good rating. The effective leadership team has high expectations and provides appropriate support for all students, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The implementation of 'hubs' has proven effective in catering to the individual needs of these pupils. The positive school culture is reflected in the enthusiasm students show for learning and the low incidence of bullying, contributing to a safe and supportive environment.
