Through a learning environment and curriculum of high quality, the school delivers exciting learning experiences that engage pupils successfully and enrich their lives. Teaching across the school is consistently good. As a result, nearly all pupils make at least good progress as they move through the school and a minority make exceptional progress. Leaders, staff and governors work together exceptionally well to provide pupils and their families with outstanding care, support and guidance. All staff help nearly all pupils to develop very strong attitudes to learning. Pupils are proud of their achievements and the extensive influence they have on shaping the future direction of the school through their various leadership roles. The headteacher, supported by the senior leadership team and governing body, provides dynamic and highly creative leadership. Together, they have developed a very strong vision for the school and an exemplary professional culture at all levels. There is a very positive record of change management that has led to significant improvements in the school, for example in the quality of teaching and provision in the foundation phase.
