Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders are relentless in their ambition to transform the quality of education provided by the school. They have raised pupils' aspirations and improved their outcomes successfully.

Leaders have taken effective action to improve the quality of teaching and teachers value the opportunities they have had to develop their professional skills. Teachers have high expectations for their pupils. Most lessons are intensely interesting.

Teachers use their strong subject knowledge to capture pupils' curiosity with activities that are pitched at just the right level. Middle leaders monitor carefully the quality of teaching and learning and hold teac...hers to account for the progress of their pupils. The curriculum is well designed and inspires pupils to learn.

Leaders ensure that learning is used to broaden pupils' horizons, particularly for the most vulnerable pupils, through trips and visits. Pupils love to read. They read widely and often and are confident, fluent readers.

All groups of pupils make very strong progress in reading. Teachers ensure that teaching assistants are well deployed and provide valuable support in lessons. As a result, pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good progress.

Pupils have many opportunities to write across a range of subjects and this develops their confidence and enthusiasm. The quality of pupils' writing is good. Pupils are polite, courteous and considerate of others.

They are proud of their school and attend regularly. Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good. A culture of care, tolerance and respect underpins pupils' good behaviour around the school and in lessons.

New governors are ambitious for the school. Already, leaders are benefiting from sharing expertise across the two schools in the federation. This is helping them to further improve this inclusive school community.

The progress made by pupils in mathematics is good but not quite as strong as in other subjects. This is because there is more variability in the quality of teaching in mathematics than in other subjects. The most able pupils make very strong progress in reading but weaker progress in mathematics.

This is because the level of challenge is lower in mathematics and time in lessons is not always used well.
