Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher and leaders have successfully improved teaching, learning and assessment since the last inspection so that it is now good.

As a result, pupils are making good progress in reading, writing and mathematics and their attainment is rising rapidly. Other adults are skilled in supporting the learning of individuals and groups of pupils. They make a good contribution to these pupils' progress.

The personal development of pupils in the school is outstanding, as is the care and welfare of pupils and their families. The behaviour of pupils is good. They are proud of their school and show respect to staff and to others.

Pupi...ls' positive attitudes to learning contribute to their good progress. The well-designed curriculum provides pupils with experiences which engage and enthuse them as well as improving their basic skills. Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good.

The Early Years Foundation Stage is outstanding. This is because high-quality teaching develops children's skills and understanding very effectively and rapidly. The governing body has improved since the last inspection.

Governors know the strengths and weaknesses of the school. They are, therefore, able to provide effective support and challenge to school leaders, so that the school continues to improve. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Sometimes the work pupils choose is too easy or difficult, which means they do not learn as well as they could.

Teachers do not always follow the school's marking policy to ensure that pupils' work improves. The teaching of skills to enable strong progress in grammar, punctuation and spelling is not yet consistently effective, particularly in Key Stage 2. Leaders' checks on the quality of teaching do not consistently focus closely on the progress of groups of pupils.
