Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher, with the support of a committed group of staff and governors, has driven rapid improvement and tackled the weaknesses identified in the last inspection. Parents and carers, staff and pupils have overwhelmingly positive views about the school and the quality of education it provides.

Pupils have a good start to their education in the early years and are well prepared for key stage 1. Pupils' workbooks and information collected about pupils' performance show that current pupils make good progress from their starting points in reading, writing and mathematics. Vulnerable pupils, including those who have special educational needs (SEN...) and/or disabilities and disadvantaged pupils are well supported by staff and make strong progress.

Support for the children of Armed Forces families (service children) is good. This group of pupils makes strong progress and attains high standards in each key stage. Teachers use their good subject knowledge to plan learning that meets the needs of pupils in English and mathematics.

Staff use questioning well to help pupils to develop their ideas and to check their understanding. Behaviour in lessons and at different times of the day is outstanding. Pupils are courteous, show respect to each other and support each other well.

They enjoy school and work hard in lessons. Staff have positive relationships with pupils and their families. They work hard to ensure that the needs of pupils are met academically, socially and emotionally.

Pupils make valuable contributions to school life. They take their responsibilities as school councillors and monitors seriously. The school's curriculum is broad and interesting, but learning in subjects other than English and mathematics is not always focused sufficiently on the development of key skills.

Some subject leaders are not using assessment information or monitoring activities well to identify pupils' next steps or to improve their subjects. Some pupils do not take care with their handwriting and presentation. Some activities in the early years do not motivate pupils or sustain their interest.
