Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Pupils make good progress from their starting points.

An increased proportion of pupils make more than the progress expected of them, particularly in reading and mathematics. Standards at the end of Year 6 are broadly average in reading and mathematics and below average in writing. Children make good progress in the Early Years Foundation Stage and the majority achieve a good level of development by the time they leave the Reception class.

Teaching is good and staff create a very positive working environment, which encourages pupils to make the most of their lessons and to make good progress. Information technology is used very effective...ly by teachers to support learning and to make lessons exciting and fun. Pupils' high standards of behaviour in lessons have a significant impact on the good progress that they make.

Pupils are attentive and keen to learn, support each other well and respond sensibly and respectfully to teachers and support staff. Pupils feel safe in school and are well looked after by staff. Senior and middle leaders have accurately identified specific weaknesses in achievement and in teaching.

They have put in place well-thought-out plans for improvement which are having a significant impact on raising standards. Governors are highly supportive and have a well-informed view of the school's performance. They have worked purposefully with the headteacher to improve the quality of teaching and raise achievement.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : Pupils' achievement in writing is not yet as good as in reading and mathematics. The proportion of pupils making and exceeding the expected amount of progress is not yet good enough in some classes. Not enough teaching is outstanding.

A few teachers do not check pupils' understanding in lessons regularly enough or address misconceptions clearly in their work.
