• Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

• Inspectors found pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive effective adaptations and achieve very well, with most pupils reading and writing fluently.
• Inspectors found the school identifies pupils' needs early, including those falling behind in phonics and these pupils catch up quickly with additional support.
