Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The cornerstone of this successful school is the strong relationships between the staff and the pupils. The pupils become confident learners quickly, starting in the early years, because they know that the staff always listen to them carefully and that they are cared for well.

The pupils make good progress, particularly in the early years. By the time that they leave the school, they reach levels that are broadly average and sometimes a little above. The teachers develop the pupils' sense of curiosity well.

They choose topics for learning and activities that capture the pupils' interest. The teaching is at its most effective in the early ...years. The headteacher, other leaders and the governing body have established a strong ethos at the school, which gives a high priority to the pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.

This makes a powerful contribution to the pupils' positive attitudes to life and to learning. The pupils' progress in mathematics was low in 2016. This was because the school's curriculum did not provide the pupils with enough of the opportunities that they needed in order to develop the required skills.

The school's approach to assessing the pupils' attainment and progress is more effective in the early years than it is in key stage 1.
