Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Pupils make good progress in reading, writing and mathematics. Leaders have worked very effectively to improve the quality of teaching and pupils' subsequent achievement, particularly in Key Stage 2.

Both are now consistently good. Teaching is particularly strong in the Reception year and Year 1. It gives pupils a really firm base for future learning.

Better teaching in older classes over the last year means that pupils are now building much more effectively on this good start. Pupils' progress is checked carefully, and any at risk of falling behind are given effective help to catch up. Teachers provide interesting activities for pupils,... so they enjoy learning and concentrate well in lessons.

Lessons are orderly, and pupils respond positively to teachers' consistently high expectations of work and behaviour. Pupils get on well with each other and with staff, and they behave well. They feel very safe in school and have great confidence in how the adults will look after them.

Attendance is consistently above average. Pupils work hard and take pride in their success. Their collaborative skills are good and strongly support their progress in lessons.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : The work for pupils of high ability is not always challenging enough and they do not make fast enough progress. They often spend too much time on the easier tasks set for their classmates before going on to tackle harder work. The high-quality marking of pupils' work in some books is not consistent between classes or subjects.

Pupils do not have enough opportunities to consolidate their good writing skills by writing at length, particularly in subjects other than English.

Information about this school

The school is slightly smaller than average for a primary school. The very large majority of pupils are from White British backgrounds, with a few from a range of other ethnic heritages.

None of the current pupils speaks English as an additional language. The proportion of pupils supported through the pupil premium is below average. The pupil premium is extra government funding to support the education of pupils who are eligible for free school meals, children who are looked after by the local authority, and those who have a parent in the armed forces.

The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs who are supported through school action is below average. The proportion of such pupils supported through school action plus or who have a statement of special educational needs is average. The school meets the government's current floor standard, which is the minimum expectation set for pupils' attainment and progress.
