However, beyond the early years, in the wider curriculum, staff do not help pu...pils consistently well to build on what they have learned previously. As a result, a significant minority of pupils have gaps in their learning and do not achieve as well as they should by the end of key stage 2.Pupils know the school's DREAM values of 'determination, responsibility, everyone together, aspiration and achievement, mutual respect' very well.

Pupils feel safe and learn about how to manage risks effectively, including when online. They learn about fundamental British values, such as democracy and tolerance, and value the variety of assemblies, visitors to school, pupil roles and responsibilities. Generally, pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain.

Pupils attend regularly and punctually. If pupils struggle with attending school regularly, they get the focused support that they need. Bullying is not tolerated.

Generally, pupils play respectfully and enjoy a range of team games and individual resources at breaktime. However, a small number of pupils do not always set a positive example to their peers. Leaders have identified this, and their swift actions are already beginning to have a significant impact.
