Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leadership is effective. Leaders have guided the school well through a period of staffing turbulence. Their actions to improve provision have been effective.

Morale is high and standards are rising. Disadvantaged pupils are making good progress from their starting points. Additional funding for these pupils is used effectively to ensure that they are supported well and thrive.

Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are vulnerable are supported to a high standard. Their emotional well-being needs are cared for particularly well by the school's support team. Pupils model the school's values to a high ...standard.

Everyone is included and valued. A range of effective strategies enhance pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development to ensure that they are well prepared for life in modern Britain. A wide range of extra-curricular clubs and activities enrich pupils' learning.

Pupils value these opportunities highly and participate enthusiastically. The quality of teaching is good. Teachers use their subject knowledge to structure learning well and help pupils deepen their knowledge and understanding.

Pupils' behaviour is good. They enjoy learning, listen attentively in class and are keen to participate in lessons. Pupils get along well with each other, working and playing together happily.

The early years setting is good. Children make rapid progress from their typically low starting points and are ready to achieve well when they start Year 1. The curriculum is broad and balanced.

Pupils enjoy a wide range of activities and experiences. However, these are not always sequenced effectively to build on pupils' skills and knowledge. The most able pupils are not yet achieving well enough.

Sometimes teaching lacks challenge for these pupils. Leaders, including governors, do not monitor the progress of this group of pupils closely enough.
