Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. The school has improved since the last inspection because senior leaders have successfully improved the quality of teaching. Across the school all groups of pupils make good progress.

Attainment in reading and mathematics is now above the national average. Attainment in writing is improving rapidly. Additional adults give very good extra support to children who need it.

The curriculum is carefully focused on pupils' needs, and provision for pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is excellent. Behaviour is good across the school. Pupils are polite and well mannered.

They feel safe in school and know who to turn... to if they have a problem. Bullying is rare. The school's very good professional development for all staff is a fundamental reason for raising standards of teaching and learning.

The governing body is a challenging and supportive friend to the school. Governors are well informed, know their responsibilities well, and successfully fulfil their role in holding senior leaders to account for the school's performance. It is not yet an outstanding school because : In a small number of lessons pupils are not sufficiently challenged to ensure that they make rapid progress.

Pupils' behaviour is not outstanding because : when they become disinterested in lessons they sometimes lose focus on their work and misbehave.
