Achievement is outstanding. Pupils' attainment is well above average in English and mathematics, and they make rapid progress across a wide range of other subjects. The headteacher has created a team of staff and governors who work very effectively together to ensure that teaching continues to improve and pupils progress quickly.
Excellent teaching in most lessons helps pupils to make rapid progress in their learning. Teachers show that they have very high expectations, both of their pupils and of themselves. They are particularly skilled at giving pupils work at just the right level of difficulty.
Marking in English is ...particularly helpful in supporting high standards. During lessons, teachers continually check on pupils' progress to make sure they are all doing as well as possible. The school very effectively tracks the progress of each individual pupil throughout their time in the school.
Pupils enjoy a wide range of interesting and engaging activities in all subjects and reach high standards, particularly in art and singing. Excellent relationships between pupils, and with the adults, are a cornerstone of the school's success. Pupils feel very safe in school, and they get on well with, and care for, each other in an exemplary manner.
Pupils behave extremely well and have excellent attitudes to learning in lessons. They are polite and respectful to adults and their friends. They are very well prepared for the next stage in their education.
Parents and carers are highly positive about the school.
