Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The acting headteacher and the leadership team have brought about significant improvement in pupils' outcomes and the quality of teaching. Teaching is now typically good. Consequently, most pupils in all year groups are consistently making good progress in reading, writing and mathematics.

Outstanding early years provision ensures that children make very rapid and sustained progress. They are well placed to succeed when they join Year 1. Highly effective teaching of phonics helps younger pupils make rapid gains in their reading.

Other adults are skilled in supporting the learning of individuals and groups of pupils. They make sure that no... pupil is left behind. Progress is not as strong in science because : pupils are not given enough opportunities to carry out science investigations.

The curriculum offers many chances for pupils to apply their basic skills across other subject areas. As a result, pupils successfully broaden their knowledge and understanding. Some pupils have not acquired the skills in reading to interpret more complex writing.

Pupils' range of exciting vocabulary is at times limited. Pupils enjoy being at school and feel safe and well looked after. They behave well and have good attitudes to learning.

Some parents would like more information about school developments and the progress their children make.
