This is an outstanding school. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes towards school, each other and learning are outstanding.
An excellent range of experiences, topics and subjects inspires pupils' love of learning throughout the school. As a result, pupils talk with real enthusiasm about how they are part of planning what they learn. Leaders, including governors and directors, are passionate about the school and its values.
They have built a team of leaders and staff who are extremely supportive of the school's approach and always very keen to take on new challenges. The school continues to improve. Extremely rigorous and robust checks carried out by leaders at all... levels check how the school is doing and how it can be better.
Consequently, their relentless drive for improvement is driving up pupils' achievement and constantly developing the quality of teaching further. Children's experiences in the Reception classes are rich and stimulating. Especially good links with parents are encouraged particularly well.
The constant focus on developing children's language skills ensures children get off to a very good start in school. Across the school, pupils' achievement is outstanding and progress over time in reading, writing and mathematics is excellent. Pupils' achievement is stronger in reading and mathematics than writing.
Disadvantaged pupils do especially well, outperforming other pupils in school and nationally in reading, writing and mathematics. Those pupils who speak or write English as a second language achieve as well as their peers and make very good progress. Outstanding teaching supports the very strong progress pupils make in their learning across the classes and key stages.
Together teachers, teaching assistants and pupils discuss and reflect extremely effectively how pupils can improve their work. Pupils are extremely caring, thoughtful and considerate, succeeding in following the school's values of respect, honesty, forgiveness and joy. Pupils of all backgrounds, cultures and faiths work and play together very harmoniously.
Leaders and all those in school are especially rigorous in their efforts to keep pupils safe. Pupils themselves take a very active part in their classes, the playground and in the wider community in trying to keep themselves and others safe.
