• Pupil voice shows a deeper understanding of social/cultural issues within wider socity

Outcomes: Each year group and across the curriculum, including in English and mathematics, current pupils make substantial and sustained progress, developing excellent knowledge, understanding and skills, considering their different starting points  

The attainment of almost all groups of pupils is broadly in line with national averages

Leaders and governors focus on consistently improving outcomes for all pupils, but especially for disadvantaged pupils.

   Target groups:-

    Boys – Y2 R/M

    Girls – Y1 Phonics

    Y4 – Spelling
