Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. From the time when pupils start school to when they leave, many pupils make progress, which is better than might normally be expected. Pupils' social and emotional development are very good, as the school focuses extremely well on these aspects in class.

Teaching is good because teachers carefully assess how well pupils are learning during lessons. Teaching assistants play an important part in helping pupils to improve and make good progress. Behaviour is good and the pupils are keen to learn in lessons.

The vast majority of parents support the school and regularly attend social occasions and assemblies, which celebrate the achievements ...of the pupils. The headteacher has shown determination in making improvements to teaching and learning, which has helped pupils to make better progress. The governors of the school have been very effective in helping the school with support, as well as making sure that they question the school leaders and hold them to account.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : Not enough teaching, over time, is outstanding. Pupils are not given enough opportunities at Key Stage 1 to write fuller sentences in their English and in topic work. Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage is not planned well enough when children are playing and working by themselves.

The school needs more contact with a very small number of parents, so that their children attend well and make better progress at school.
