Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders and governors have secured further improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment since the previous inspection.

As a result, teaching continues to be effective across the school. Pupils make strong progress in a wide range of subjects, including English and mathematics. In 2017, standards in reading, writing and mathematics were higher than the national average at the end of both key stages.

Children make rapid progress during early years. They settle quickly into school life and enjoy learning. The school's attractive and orderly environment contributes well to pupils' welfare, to their good behaviour and to th...eir enjoyment of school.

Leaders and governors have an accurate view of the school's performance. They have identified the right priorities to ensure ongoing improvements in the school's work. Developments in the structure and function of the leadership team have strengthened the school's capacity to develop further.

Governors' roles have improved substantially since the previous inspection. They continue to challenge and support school leaders effectively. While pupils achieve well in writing, boys make slower progress than girls.

Teaching does not deepen and extend learning consistently enough for the most able pupils.
