Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Pupils enjoy their learning.

Levels of attainment are above average at Key Stage 1 and are now returning to their previous above-average levels at Key Stage 2, as are rates of progress. Children make good progress in the Early Years Foundation Stage and develop good learning and listening skills. Disabled pupils, those with special educational needs and those known to be eligible for free school meals achieve well because of the well-targeted support that they receive.

Teaching is consistently good and some is outstanding. Teachers plan active tasks that are well matched to pupils' individual abilities. Pupils behave well and are quick t...o respond to teachers' instructions.

They are polite and welcoming to visitors. They say that the school keeps them safe and have a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe including when using the internet. The new headteacher, well supported by the leadership team and governors, has quickly established her vision for the school.

Strong processes are in place to keep teaching at a high quality and to establish high expectations for behaviour. Leaders' well-focused actions mean that pupils' achievement is now improving. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Teachers occasionally spend too long introducing the main task for the lesson and the pace of learning then slows.

Although teachers mark pupils' work regularly and accurately, they do not always make sure pupils understand their targets and what they need to do to achieve them. Although leaders now collect a wide range of information about the performance of pupils, the use of this data to target areas of underachievement lacks precision.
