Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher, leaders and governors have an unwavering passion and determination to raise the standards that pupils achieve. They are deeply ambitious for all pupils.

The quality of teaching is consistently good across the school and continues to improve. As a result, by the end of key stage 2, and from starting points that are typically below national levels, pupils make significantly better progress in reading and mathematics than pupils nationally. Their progress in writing is also above the national level.

Disadvantaged pupils do well at this school. Their progress by the end of key stage 2 is above the national level in reading, w...riting and mathematics. The proportion of children reaching a good level of development by the end of the early years is rising steadily, and more of them are exceeding early learning goals such as in reading.

Pupils behave extremely well at school. They feel safe at school because they are listened to by adults. They know that if they have a worry or concern, adults will help them.

Their parents very strongly agree with this view. Leaders and governors have a strong strategic vision for the school and an accurate view of the school's strengths and areas for development. While the standard of pupils' handwriting and spelling has risen since the last inspection, there is room for further improvements to help pupils write at greater depth.

The feedback pupils receive about their work helps them to know how to improve. However, some most-able pupils do not routinely produce writing at a deeper level. In mathematics, opportunities for pupils to talk about their reasoning are not yet consistent across the school.

In some subjects, including science, the school's assessment system does not always identify clearly the needs of the most able learners.
