Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school.

From broadly average starting points, pupils make good progress throughout the school. Pupils with special educational needs and those known to be eligible for the pupil premium make good progress because they are supported effectively. At the end of Year 2, standards in reading, writing and mathematics are above average.

The teaching of reading is particularly good and hence more pupils attain the higher levels in reading compared with writing and mathematics. Teaching overall is good with examples of outstanding practice throughout the school. Behaviour is generally good.

Pupils are friendly and polite. They form trusting rela...tionships with staff and so feel safe and happy at school. Improved attendance reflects that pupils enjoy school.

Senior leaders, including the governing body, promote strong team work and ensure that training and support for staff are focused on raising pupils' attainment and progress. Parents are very positive about the school and all that it does to help their children make a good start to their education. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Not enough teaching is outstanding to drive progress at an even faster pace and make achievement outstanding.

Expectations of what pupils do when they work by themselves are not high enough in one or two classes and so not all achieve as much as they could. Senior leaders are not doing enough to check that the actions they take to make improvements result in pupils' higher achievement in all subjects. Governors do not check closely enough that the information they receive about the school's performance is accurate and reliable.
