This is a good school The headteacher's strong and determined leadership has led to many improvements since the last inspection. Despite many changes to staffing, the leaders' ambition for the school has not wavered and this has produced a coherent team of staff who work together very effectively to raise achievement.
Leaders, including governors, have high aspirations for pupils and make their high expectations for staff performance clear. As a result, the quality of teaching is good. Leaders use information about pupils' progress well to ensure that pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, make good progress in reading, writing and mathematics across the school....
Pupils enjoy learning and show very positive attitudes in all of their lessons. They show curiosity in their learning and are enthusiastic in their discussion of books and their favourite authors. A strong moral purpose underpins the school's work.
Adults across the school community reinforce the school's core values, such as respect and resourcefulness. Pupils try their best at all times. Pupils feel safe and parents value the care their children receive.
Parents receive regular information about what and how pupils are learning. This enables them to support the school in making a positive difference to their children's achievement. The early years provision in the school is good.
The broad curriculum supports children's early development so that the majority of them are well equipped to make a successful start to Year 1. It is not yet an outstanding school because : There are some inconsistencies in teaching. Occasionally, adults do not check effectively enough on how all groups are getting on, so gaps in learning are not always filled quickly enough.
The activities provided for pupils do not build sufficiently well on what they can already do, particularly in writing. Pupils' handwriting is often too careless and their spelling skills are not well enough developed.
