Summary

With a recent Ofsted rating of Good, this primary school demonstrates a solid commitment to quality education. While the percentage of students meeting expected standards in reading, writing, and maths at KS2 stands at 38%, it ranks in the top 94% nationally, indicating strong performance relative to the UK average. However, the lack of students achieving the higher standard suggests there may be room for improvement in challenging more advanced learners.
