It is not outstanding because although teaching is outstanding in the Early Years Foundation Stage, in Years 1 to 6 it is good. In consequence, this leads to good rather than outstanding overall achievement. Pupils of all abilities make good progress in reading and mathematics and achieve well.
At the end of Year 6, the standards of more able pupils are not quite as high in writing as in reading and mathematics, because in Years 3 to 6, there are too few opportunities provided for them apply their writing skills across the whole curriculum. Teaching is good overall and is particularly effective in the Early Years Foundation Stage. Across the school, teachers manage... pupils well and ensure there is a calm and purposeful atmosphere in all classes.
They generally provide interesting and engaging activities. However, on occasion, and particularly in Years 3 to 6, work is not always sufficiently well planned to provide challenge for all groups. Although marking is generally thorough and comprehensive, pupils' next steps in learning are not always made clear, particularly in mathematics.
The pupils feel safe in school. Most behave very well in and around the school. They have positive attitudes to their work and understand how to keep safe.
Leadership and management are good. The new headteacher has successfully built on the strengths in the last inspection. The curriculum is good and well supports the pupils' spiritual, moral, cultural and social development.
Senior staff have focused well on improving teaching and further raising standards by the management of performance. The governing body supports and challenges the school well.
