It promotes pupils' physical development and their spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding effectively. Pupils now make good progress in reading, writing and mathematics, and standards in these subjects are rising. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Some of the disadvantaged pupils and the most-able pupils are not yet making as much good progress in mathematics as they are in reading and writing.

The teaching of spelling and handwriting is not thorough enough to ensure that pupils consistently spell correctly and present their work well. Occasionally, teachers do not tell pupils what they should achieve by the end of lessons.
