Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school.

Children get off to a good start in the Early Years Foundation Stage. Attainment at the end of Years 2 and 6 is above average. Pupils make good progress from their starting points.

Teaching throughout the school is consistently good, and at times, outstanding. Pupils have good attitudes to school. They work hard and behave well.

They feel safe in school and their attendance is above average. Leaders have improved standards and teaching quality in the school significantly since the previous inspection. Teachers' performance is managed very well and this accounts for pupils' good achievement.

The governing body knows how ...well the school performs and plays a significant part in its continuing improvement. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Teachers do not always provide enough opportunities for pupils to think things out for themselves. The roles of teaching assistants could be improved in order to help raise teaching quality to outstanding.

There is still work to be done to ensure more boys reach their full potential in writing.
