In 2017, OFSTED said:
"Pupils outcomes from all ability groups are excellent. They make substantial progress from starting points that are typically below those which would be expected. Standards by Year 6 are above average".
"Highly effective teaching, and accurate assessment information, ensures that disadvantaged pupils make exceptionally strong progress from their varied starting points into school. The high standard of teaching, learning and assessment ensures that no pupil is left behind."
"The Headteacher is relentless in their drive to ensure that all pupils achieve their best. They have created a staff team who share, and deliver successfully, the ambition for all pupils to thrive academically and emotionally.
"Support for pupils personal development and welfare is outstanding and extends to their wider families. It prepares pupils well for the lives they will lead in modern Britain".
