Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school.

This is a good and improving school. Pupils feel safe and happy here, enjoy their learning and are achieving well. Parents agree.

Pupils' attainment is consistently above average at the end of Key Stage 2 and Year 8. They make good progress as they move through the school. Improvements in achievement have been driven by senior leaders introducing systems that now accurately identify the progress pupils are making.

Teachers use this system well to match teaching to the needs of pupils. Teaching is typically good and sometimes outstanding; it is characterised by high expectations and challenge. Behaviour and safety are outstanding... because pupils' attitudes to learning are consistently positive and their behaviour, both in and out of lessons, is exemplary.

The school has recently experienced a very difficult period in its history but, due to the clarity of purpose shown by the headteacher and her team, it has remained focused on the well-being and progress of pupils as well as supporting children, their families and the wider school community. Leadership and management at all levels are good, the curriculum is creative and there are good opportunities for pupils beyond lessons. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Recent rapid improvements in pupil progress are not yet sustained over time.

The most able pupils are making good progress but they are capable of achieving more.
