Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school.

Children get off to a good start in the Reception class and are well prepared for their future learning. Pupils continue to make good progress through Years 1 to 6 so that by the time they leave Year 6 they reach above average standards in English and mathematics. Pupils are enthusiastic and confident learners.

They show respect and cooperate well with each other and staff and this leads to a calm and purposeful environment in lessons and around school. Teaching is good and contributing well to the good progress that pupils make. Leaders and governors know their school and have made significant improvements to the quality of teaching and... pupils' achievement since the previous inspection.

It is not yet an outstanding school because: The quality of teaching is good but is not yet leading to rapid progress for all groups of pupils. Improvement targets in the school development plan are not sufficiently clear or precise enough to move the quality of teaching and pupils' achievement to outstanding.
