Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Pupils make good progress in reading, writing and mathematics during their time in the school due to good, sometimes outstanding, teaching.

Teachers plan interesting lessons, match work well to pupils' needs and use marking and feedback effectively. This ensures that pupils learn well and make good progress. Teaching assistants provide very good support for the learning of small groups and individuals.

Excellent leadership by the headteacher is ensuring that this is a rapidly improving school where all pupils learn successfully. The school is a strong, caring community where pupils work together well. They behave well and are kind and ca...ring towards each other.

Keeping a detailed eye on pupils' progress ensures that the school clearly knows how well pupils are doing, identifies those falling behind and quickly puts plans into place to ensure they catch up. The school makes good use of exciting topics that engage pupils and this is reflected in the vibrant displays of their work throughout the school. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Teachers do not always ensure that their questions deepen pupils' understanding or that the pace of lessons supports rapid learning.

Targets set for teachers are not always sufficiently linked to their experience or level of responsibility to ensure that all play a full role in school improvement. Pupils have a limited awareness of the breadth of social, cultural and religious diversity in Britain.
