Key findings

This is an outstanding school where pupils achieve exceptionally well. It is held in extremely high regard by parents and carers, not just because of pupils' impressive academic achievement, but also for the exceptional standards of care and the well-rounded education it provides for all pupils.

Pupils' attainment is broadly in line with national expectations on entry, although often limited in communication, language and literacy. The pupils make outstanding progress through the school so that, by the time they leave, attainment in English and mathematics is well above national averages. The proportion reaching National Curriculum Level 5 in mathematics in 2011, for example, was almost double the nati...onal average.

The challenge for the school is now to sharpen planning so as to make provision for more pupils to reach Level 6. The outstanding quality of teaching in all years ensures that pupils engage enthusiastically in their learning and are eager to work hard. Guidance given to pupils through marking is of exceptionally high quality.

It shows pupils very clearly how well they are doing and how to improve their work. Behaviour and safety are outstanding. Pupils enjoy school and speak enthusiastically about all aspects of it.

They are well known and valued as individuals and the promotion of respect for themselves and other people is at the heart of the school's work. Attendance is consistently above average. The leadership of teaching and management of performance are excellent.

Staff at all levels are united in striving for excellence. Leaders have a sharp insight into strengths and opportunities for further improvement. Pupils are very well aware of the diversity of modern society and well prepared to take their places in it, although they have only limited opportunities for first-hand interaction with children from different backgrounds and circumstances.

Information about the school

The school is larger than the average primary school. Most pupils are White British, with a few from other backgrounds. Very few speak English as an additional language.

The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is just below the national average, although the proportion who have a statement of special educational needs is well below average. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is below the national average. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which determine the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress.

It has gained many awards, including national Healthy Schools Status and the International Schools and Artsmark awards, and was commended for 'exceptional delivery' in gaining a National Sports Strategy Award. A private before- and after-school provision operates on the school site. It is not managed by the governing body and is inspected separately.
