Children start the Early Years Foundation Stage with broadly expected skills. They develop into happy, confident, inquisitive children and make outstanding progress by Year 1. By Year 2, pupils consistently reach standards that are well above those expected for their age in reading, writing, and mathematics.
However, sometimes the most able pupils are set tasks in mathematics w...hich do not fully stretch them, meaning that sometimes they do not achieve as well as they could..Those pupils who receive extra support make the same excellent progress as other pupils and much better than their counterparts nationally.
.Teachers provide excellent opportunities for pupils to develop in an exciting learning environment. The staff plan closely together to ensure that pupils build on their prior learning.
Learning assistants provide very effective support in lessons..Pupils' behaviour in lessons and around the school is exemplary.
