Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school.

Standards have risen rapidly since the last inspection and this trend is confirmed by the current data at every key stage. Children make good progress in the Early Years Foundation Stage. In Key Stage 1, pupils continue to make good progress and consistently reach standards that are above those expected for their age in reading, writing and mathematics.

In Key Stage 2, pupils make outstanding progress and consistently reach standards that are well above average. The proportion of pupils in Year 6 achieving the higher levels in mathematics and, more recently, in writing is exceptional. There is no gap in standards between pupils w...ho are known to be eligible for free school meals and those who are not.

The quality of teaching has improved since the last inspection. The percentage of outstanding teaching has increased considerably. Teachers, particularly in Year 6, have exceptionally high expectations of their pupils.

Occasionally, pupils go over old ground in lessons rather than moving on quickly to new learning. Relationships are excellent. Adults treat pupils with warmth, respect and courtesy.

Pupils confidently model this behaviour with each other and with adults in the school. There are times, however, when lunchtime play is boisterous and is insufficiently supervised in a small part of the outside play area..

Pupils are attentive in lessons. They are enthusiastic learners and bring impressive initiative and effort to their work. The school environment is very nurturing and supportive of pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.

School leaders provide clear direction for the acceleration of pupils' future learning. The school is supported and held to account by a very well led, dynamic and most effective governing body. Leaders and governors ensure that the school continues to move forward as the quality of teaching and pupils' achievement continue to improve.

Parents overwhelmingly agree that the school provides an outstanding education for their children.
