Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Since the previous inspection, the headteacher, well supported by the senior leadership team, has successfully transformed the culture of the school. This has resulted in the rapid improvements seen. High-quality professional development has challenged and supported all staff, leading to improvements in the quality of teaching, leadership and management.

Teaching across key stages 1 and 2 is typically good, and most pupils make good progress across the curriculum. Occasionally, teaching does not meet some pupils' needs, especially the most able. The school's current information on pupils' progress shows a picture of improving outcomes in most year... groups.

The school's actions have resulted in significant progress for disadvantaged pupils. The use of specialist teachers has a positive impact on the learning of many pupils, especially in music and sport. Governors offer the school much expertise and knowledge.

They are passionate about the school and fully aware of its strengths and weaknesses. Pupils benefit from a broad, balanced and creative curriculum, but leaders know it requires further refinement. The promotion of pupils' personal development is outstanding.

Pupils behave very well. Leaders promote pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development effectively. Pupils are polite, courteous and respectful.

They have positive attitudes to their learning. This helps to ensure that they make good progress in their learning by the end of key stage 2. The early years provision gives children a good start to their education.

Staff plan activities which engage children's interests. The provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is strong. The school's safeguarding procedures are robust and protect pupils from potential risks and harm.
