Main findings
This is a good school. Pupils are taught well and as a result make good progress in their learning. The school is well led and managed, with the headteacher providing a strong, positive steer to the school's work.
In this she is supported fully by the senior leadership team. Governance is good. Most children start in the Reception class with skills that are below those expected, but they are eager and enthusiastic to learn and make good progress throughout their time in the Early Years Foundation Stage.
By the end of Year 6, most pupils have made good progress as they move through the school and their attainment is above average overall. The main reason for the good progress made is the good ...and occasionally outstanding teaching they receive. However, the quality of teaching is inconsistent across the school, and there are some lessons where teaching and learning are no better than satisfactory because the pace of learning is too slow.
Pupils are enthusiastic about school and say that they feel extremely safe at all times. This is the result of the outstanding arrangements the school has for care, guidance and support for pupils. Their enthusiasm for school is shown in the high attendance levels.
Pupils behave well overall and this helps their learning, because for most of the time, they concentrate well on the tasks set for them. Pupils make a good contribution to the school and the local community. Their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good.
They have well-developed social skills and strong understanding of moral issues, although their knowledge of different cultures is less strong. The school provides a good curriculum for its pupils. It is adapted well to provide for all pupils' individual needs.
This is an inclusive school where leaders ensure that all pupils can benefit from what is offered. From the Early Years Foundation Stage onwards, parents and carers are made to feel welcome and are encouraged to support their children's learning. The members of the governing body have a clear picture of what the school does well and what needs improvement.
However, the governing body has not yet been fully effective in ensuring the development of community cohesion in order to make pupils aware of the wide range of cultural differences within this country and globally. The arrangements for safeguarding are outstanding. The school's records are meticulous.
The improvement in pupils' attainment, the excellent care given to pupils and leaders' and managers' clear understanding of the strengths and areas for development, place the school in a good position to sustain its improvement.
Information about the school
