This is a good school The drive and ambition of leaders, including governors, ensure that the school continues to move forward and provide well for its pupils. There is good communication with parents, who are highly supportive of the school's work.

Pupils are confident and successful learners. Their behaviour is outstanding. They say they... feel safe and they are supportive of each other.

Children in the early years get off to a good start. Good teaching means they achieve well. Leaders are now applying ways to measure pupils' attainment and progress in subjects beyond English and mathematics.

For some pupils, leaders do not use information about pupils' progress precisely enough to improve the pace of learning quickly. In some cases, the most able pupils do not reach their full potential in subjects other than English and mathematics. The quality of pupils' writing is not as high in other subjects as it is in English.

Sometimes, the work that teachers provide for lower-attaining pupils is not pitched well enough to enable them to make rapid progress.
