They make good progress from below expected starting points. Almost all pupils reach nationally expected levels in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6. An increasing proportion of more-able pupils reach the higher levels in writing and mathematics each year.
However, more-able pupils, especially girls, do not read as well as they write. Pupils with significant special educational needs and those who are known to be eligible for free school meals outperform similar groups nationally. Teaching is lively and engaging and often uses up-to-date technology very effectively to enthuse pupils.
Lessons capture and retain pupils' interest and... enable them to learn at a good rate. Pupils have frequent opportunities to discuss, ask questions and write. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school.
Disruption to lessons is rare because the school has very effective systems to support individual pupils who have behavioural difficulties. Pupils are typically polite, friendly and kind, both to adults and to each other. They have very positive attitudes to learning.
They are keen to do well and thoroughly enjoy school. The senior leadership team, fully supported by the governing body, sets high standards and ambitious targets. They accurately identify the strengths and weaknesses of the school and use this information effectively to improve achievement each year.
Together they work hard to promote the confidence and engagement of parents and carers in supporting their children's learning but more remains to be done. The school provides an interesting curriculum that promotes pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development well.
