Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school

Since the previous inspection, senior leaders have made many improvements to the quality of education pupils receive. Standards are rising and pupils make good progress in a wide range of subjects.
Disadvantaged pupils, pupils at the early stages of learning English and pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities make good progress due to the effective extra support they receive.
Children make a good start to their school life in the early years and, by the end of Reception, they are well prepared for Year 1.
Although the most able pupils make good progress, on occasions, even more could be expected of them.
Outstanding procedures for staff training and development have resulted in improvements in the quality of teaching and the use of assessment so that these are now good.
Leaders have a clear and accurate view of the school and know exactly where to focus school improvement activities. The school is well placed to continue to improve in the future.
Governance is much improved since the previous inspection. Governors now play their part in ensuring that the school is focused on improving pupils’ academic and personal development.
The stronger aspects of writing are punctuation, grammar, presentation and extended writing. Spelling is weaker, especially in the older classes.
The strongest aspects of mathematics are in number work and calculation. Insecure knowledge of their multiplication tables slows the progress of some pupils a little.
Pupils benefit from an interesting and varied curriculum, an extensive range of out-of-school clubs and a well-judged programme of visits that enhance their understanding and experience.
The great majority of parents regard the school highly.
Good relationships, high expectations and a consistently implemented behaviour policy result in pupils behaving well and enjoying school.
Pupils are kept safe and are well supported and cared for. Their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good.
Pupils, especially the older pupils, show a good understanding of British values. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education and life beyond school.
Pupils concentrate in class, work hard and enjoy learning. They are polite and well mannered. Playtimes and assemblies are happy times and pupils behave well.
