Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
This is a good school The headteacher, senior leaders and the governing body have a clear vision and drive to improve the quality of teaching and raise pupils' achievement. Many improvements have been made since the previous inspection.
Leaders new to their responsibilities are not yet fully effective in checking the impact of their work on improving the school. Leaders have accurately identified weaknesses in the school and put in place effective plans to address these issues. There is a strong culture of safeguarding throughout the school.
Leaders and staff are vigilant and tenacious in ensuring that pupils are kept safe. Outcomes in key stages 1 and 2 have ...improved significantly. Pupils make good progress and in 2017, attainment at the end of Year 6 was similar to national levels.
Although teaching is good overall, there are some inconsistencies. Teachers do not always support and challenge some of the pupils in reading to build quickly on their strong outcomes at the end of the Reception Year. Parents are delighted with the education their children receive.
Teachers and pupils are justifiably proud of the school. Teaching is good due to teachers' sound subject knowledge and the effective training and support that they undertake. The curriculum is broad and balanced.
It captures pupils' interest and creates enthusiasm for learning across a range of subjects. The school promotes fundamental British values and pupils' social, moral, spiritual and cultural development successfully. Pupils' good behaviour and positive attitudes to learning are a strength of the school.
Pupils are friendly and considerate towards adults and each other. However, they do not always present their work as well as they should. Despite the best efforts of leaders, there are still too many pupils regularly absent from school.
Pupils who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities are well supported and make good progress from their starting points. Pupils get off to a rapid start in early years and make good progress by the end of the Reception Year as a result of good teaching and provision. The school provides well for pupils' social and emotional development.
As a result, they are well prepared for their next stage of education and life beyond school.
