Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. The school has made good progress since its previous inspection. Leaders, managers and governors have focused on improving teaching and raising achievement successfully.

Attainment is rising rapidly because of consistently good teaching and is close to average in Year 2 and Year 6. Progress is good in other year groups. Outstanding provision for the early years means that children get off to an excellent start when they join the school.

Gaps between disadvantaged pupils and others in the school are closing quickly. Learning assistants make a valuable contribution to pupils' learning. Pupils in the additional resourced provision make good... progress because the work is tailored precisely to their needs.

Pupils behave exceptionally well, both in class and around the school, and have a real thirst for learning. The school keeps pupils very safe and has meticulous systems to ensure they know how to stay safe. Governors are highly effective in holding the school to account and in driving improvement.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : Too few pupils reach the highest available levels of attainment by the end of Year 2 and Year 6. At times the most able pupils are not sufficiently challenged, particularly in mathematics. The quality of pupils' handwriting is not consistently good across the school.

Leaders of foundation subjects do not have enough opportunities to check the quality of learning in lessons.

Information about this school

The school is larger than the average-sized primary school. There are two classes in each year group.

Three quarters of pupils come from a wide range of minority ethnic backgrounds. This is above average when compared with schools nationally. Half the pupils speak English as an additional language.

This proportion is above average. Children in the early years attend the Nursery part time and the Reception classes full time. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils supported by the pupil premium (additional funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals or looked after by the local authority) is well above average.

The proportion of pupils identified as disabled or with special educational needs is below average. The school provides specially resourced provision for disabled pupils and those with special educational needs in the form of additional resourced provision for nine pupils in Years 1 to 6 with complex needs. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' progress and attainment in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Key Stage 2.

The school has been supported in improving teaching by Worcesters Primary School, whose headteacher is a national leader of education. The new Chair of the Governing Body is also a local leader of governance. The school runs its own breakfast club.
