This is a good school The new headteacher has effectively united staff to build on the existing strengths of the school.
Senior leaders, including governors, have effectively addressed the issues from the last inspection. They have ensured that teaching and pupils' outcomes have improved and are good. Teachers plan activities that interest and motivate pupils to learn.
Children in the early years make good progress due to good teaching. Teachers' marking of pupils' work is effective due to the consistent application of the school's policy. As a result of the support they receive, disadvantaged pupils make good progress.
Support for pupils with additio...nal learning needs, such as pupils who have special educational needs or disability and those with English as an additional language is highly effective. Their progress is rigorously monitored and, as a result, they thrive. From their starting points, pupils in Key Stage 2 make good progress.
In 2015, an above average proportion of pupils reached the expected level of attainment in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils are well behaved, happy and proud of their school. They feel safe in school.
Safeguarding procedures are robust and effective. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Occasionally, children in the early years are left too long working on their own without adult conversation. As a result, they are not always given sufficient opportunity to explain their learning.
Although attendance is improving, there are still a few pupils whose attendance is too low. In Key Stage 1, inconsistencies in the teaching of phonics (letters and sounds) over time has resulted in the slower progress for some pupils in reading, writing and spelling.
