Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. As a result of the good leadership of the headteacher, who is well supported by staff and governors, pupils' achievement is good. The standard of pupils' work by the end of Year 6 is well above the national average in reading, writing and mathematics.

Actions taken to improve teaching have been effective. Typically teaching is now good and some is outstanding. The school is an inclusive community where all groups of pupils, including those eligible for the pupil premium, achieve well.

Pupils who need extra help are given good support and they also achieve well. Staff are united in supporting pupils to be 'the best that they can be'. Beha...viour in lessons and around the school is good.

Pupils are polite, courteous and proud of their school. They say they feel safe at school and that bullying is extremely rare; parents and carers agree. The school provides an exceptional range of extra activities for pupils before, during and after school.

This enables all pupils to develop their personal interests and talents and a positive attitude to learning. Every opportunity is taken to promote pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development based on the school's strong emphasis on mutual trust, respect and an appreciation of the wider world. Attendance is above average.

It is not yet an outstanding school because: Not enough teaching is outstanding. Teachers' marking does not always give pupils clear information about what they have done well and pupils are not always sure about what they need to learn next. There are not enough opportunities for pupils to take control of their learning, to work independently and think for themselves.

Information about this school

The school is smaller than the average-sized primary school. The overwhelming majority of pupils are of White British heritage. A below average, but increasing, proportion of pupils are eligible for the pupil premium, which provides additional government funding for pupils including those known to be eligible for free school meals and those from service families.

The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported through school action is average. A below average proportion of pupils are supported at school action plus or through a statement of special educational needs. The school is popular and the number of pupils entering the school is increasing with a significant number of these being admitted into Key Stage 2.

The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. A breakfast and after-school club, which is run by the governing body, is available during term time. The school, together with two other local primary schools, is part of the Huish Community Trust.
