Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher, supported by her leadership team, leads the school effectively. She is committed to driving improvements and providing a good education for all pupils.

The quality of teaching is good across the school. Teachers know how well pupils are doing and what they need to do to make it even better. They provide work that captures pupils' interest.

Pupils are very proud of their school and their learning behaviour and their conduct around school is good. Governors have a good range of skills and challenge leaders effectively. Key stage 1 results in 2017 were below average.

Leaders accurately identify weaker areas and take... action to address them. For example, leaders have changed the way that phonics is taught and this has resulted in improved progress for all groups of pupils. Leaders are aware that attendance for a small group of pupils needs to be improved.

Leaders make good use of the extra money they are given for improving sport and outcomes for disadvantaged pupils. Current pupils in early years make good progress in all areas of their learning. All staff at the school are good at keeping children safe.

Parents and carers appreciate this. The school's tracking system is not easy to use and does not give leaders and teachers the information they need to make decisions about supporting pupils.
