Overall effectiveness Good
"Throughout their time at the school, pupils make good progress. They reach above- average standards in English and mathematics."; "Teaching is good and sometimes outstanding; they monitor and track pupils' progress very carefully. Work is well matched to the different ability levels of pupils."; "Pupils who find learning difficult or have special educational needs are given effective support."; "The school has not fully developed pupils' independence in learning."
