This is a good school Leaders have high expectations of the school, its staff and its pupils.
Their high aspirations have ensured that all aspects of the school are at least good, and that the school is improving. The quality of leadership itself has also improved. There is clear evidence that since the beginning of the academic year, and since the beginning of the spring term in particular, the school is now improving rapidly.
Pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make good progress in reading, writing and mathematics from their individual starting points. Governance is strong. Governors a...nd trustees have a good understanding of the school's strengths and weaknesses.
They hold leaders to account well. Safeguarding is effective. The school's open and supportive culture, and the strong relationships between pupils and staff, help to keep pupils safe.
Provision for pupils' personal development and welfare is outstanding. Pupils develop excellent attitudes to school, their work and to equality. The quality of teaching is good and improving.
Leaders have ensured that there is now a fit-for-purpose approach to monitoring and improving the quality of teaching. Pupils behave extremely well and learning time is very rarely lost as a result of disruptive behaviour. Rates of attendance are high.
Children get off to a good start in the early years. They make good progress from their starting points and are prepared well for the move to Year 1. Pupils do not make the same good progress in other subjects that they do in English and mathematics.
The school's curriculum is not fully developed. Until very recently, the curriculum has been focused on English and mathematics, to the detriment of subjects such as history, geography and art. The school's approach to assessment is not fully developed and does not have enough impact on improving pupils' outcomes.
Pupils are sometimes given work to do that is not well matched to their abilities and does not provide them with sufficient challenge.
