Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher, well supported by an effective team of senior leaders, is committed to ensuring that the school provides a high standard of education. He has established a culture of care and pursuit of achievement that supports the personal development and progress of pupils. Governors are ambitious for the school and have the skills and knowledge to hold leaders to account.

Teachers and support staff share the leaders' expectations and values. As a result, all pupils, including the growing number who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities, are well cared for and well supported to make progress. Pupils enjoy the school's pleasa...nt and safe environment.

They behave well in lessons and around the school. They respect the staff and are grateful for the support teachers and other adults provide them with. Children who attend the Nursery and Reception classes make good progress because they benefit from the care and attention of well-qualified and dedicated staff.

The school supports the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils effectively. Leaders have designed a curriculum that is engaging and provides opportunities for pupils to develop their skills and knowledge in a wide range of subjects. Staff are well qualified and dedicated, but there are some variations in the effectiveness of practice across the school.

Leaders have effective systems in place to gather reliable information on pupils' progress. However, they do not sufficiently use their analysis of progress so that it has a direct impact on outcomes.
