Summary
With a Good rating from Ofsted, this primary academy demonstrates solid performance, particularly in meeting expected standards in reading, writing, and maths, where it ranks in the top 88% nationally. However, there is room for improvement, as no students achieved the higher standard in KS2 assessments. The small pupil population of 91 may foster a close-knit community, but the LocaleIQ score suggests it is performing better than only 14% of schools, indicating some challenges in overall educational outcomes.
