This is a good school Leadership is good. The recently appointed headteacher has made sure that the key issues facing the school are identified and are being tackled. As a result, teaching has improved and standards have risen.
From their different starting points, all groups of pupils make good progress. Pupils make stronger progress in writing and mathematics than in reading. Nevertheless, the quality of writing in the foundation subjects does not match the high standard seen in English.
Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good progress. Parents and carers are happy about the support their children receive. Leaders and teach...ers have been successful in helping pupils eligible for pupil premium funding to make good progress.
Some children enter Reception with skills and abilities well below the levels expected for their ages. They make good progress, and this provides a good start for key stage 1. Behaviour is good.
Pupils greatly enjoy the topics planned for them. Pupils get lots of opportunities to work together and do so willingly. They are polite and courteous to adults and one another.
Pupils enjoy a wide range of extra activities. The quality of sport and physical education is good and helps pupils to develop their understanding of healthy lifestyles. Parents and pupils appreciate the school's welcoming atmosphere.
This, with the curriculum, strongly promotes pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. The curriculum inspires pupils to learn well. However, leaders recognise the need for further development so that pupils excel in all subjects and deepen their skills, knowledge and understanding.
Governors support the school's leaders very well. They carry out their role effectively and provide a good balance of support and challenge to the school.
