Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders' and governors' high expectations are shared by all staff and lead to a collective vision for excellence.

Leaders' carefully considered actions have ensured that pupils leave the school as well-rounded individuals, with most having made exceptional progress in English and mathematics. Leaders provide precise training and support for all staff and hold them strictly to account for the quality of their work. Leaders have designed a curriculum that inspires and enthuses pupils.

Pupils demonstrate secure knowledge in what they have learned in a range of subjects. Pupils are suitably prepared for their next steps in education Disadvant...aged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) benefit from precise support from the adults who work with them. As a result, these pupils make excellent progress from their individual starting points.

Excellent leadership of the early years provision has ensured that children make very strong progress from their varying starting points. Pupils are well looked after. They are enthusiastic learners, behave well and know how to keep themselves safe.

Leaders provide a curriculum that supports the school's strongly held values and promotes pupils' social, moral, spiritual and cultural development admirably. Pupils are demonstrably caring, thoughtful, reflective and ambitious. They develop the attributes to become exemplary citizens.

The quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good overall and improving. However, some teachers do not always take account of pupils' starting points. Where this is the case, learning is too slow, particularly for the most able pupils.

Pupils make good or improving progress in subjects other than English and mathematics. However, in some classes, teachers' expectations of what pupils' can do is not high enough. The quality of pupils' work is not always of a high enough standard.
