This is a good school. Pupils' achievement is good and continues to improve. Standards of attainment are increasingly above average and are rising across the school.
Teaching is typically good, with teachers' high expectations and encouragement promoting the belief that all pupils can achieve and 'Be the best they can be!' As a result, pupils make good progress and an increasing number are doing even better, including some from below expected starting points. The school has well-developed systems for checking pupils' progress. These are used effectively to meet pupils' needs at an early stage and ensure that they do not fall behind.
The headteacher's inspirati...onal leadership has established a successful team approach to leadership and management, which has brought year-on-year improvement since the previous inspection. Leaders at all levels, including experienced and knowledgeable governors, contribute well to the determined drive for further improvement. All staff value pupils' efforts, work closely with parents and carers, and safeguard the pupils' welfare very securely.
Consequently, pupils behave well, feel very safe and greatly enjoy school. Pupils also benefit from the very caring relationships they share with each other and with all adults who work in the school. It is not yet an outstanding school because : There is some inconsistency in the way pupils' abilities to find things out for themselves and check their own work and bring improvement is developed in some classes.
Pupils' spelling is not always as accurate as it should be because sometimes teachers do not devote enough attention to this, or ensure that pupils themselves check that they spell words correctly when they write.
Information about this school
This school is average in size. Most pupils attending the school are of White British heritage and few pupils speak English as an additional language.
The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported through school action is above the national average. The proportion supported by school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is broadly average. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium, which provides additional funding for children in local authority care and those known to be eligible for free school meals, is below average.
The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set out the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. The school runs a part-time nurture group known as The Lighthouse for a few pupils with emotional needs. There are breakfast and after-school clubs, but as these are funded and managed independently, they did not form part of this inspection.
