Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school.

Pupils achieve well and make good progress from their starting points. Achievement in mathematics and reading is good and attainment in these subjects by the end of Key Stage 2 is above the national average. Consistently good teaching ensures that pupils do well in all classes.

Children settle quickly into the Early Years Foundation Stage and make good progress in all areas of learning. Pupils say that teachers make lessons interesting and are very good at helping them to improve their work. The school is improving because the leaders systematically identify any possible weaknesses in its performance and give teachers clear guidance on h...ow they can improve both teaching and achievement.

The governing body supports the school well and has the skills to ensure decisions made by the leaders are the right ones. Pupils feel safe, enjoy school and behave with courtesy and respect to teachers, visitors and each other. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Progress in writing at Key Stages 1 and 2, particularly for more able pupils, is not as rapid as in reading and mathematics.

Pupils who receive the pupil premium do not always achieve as well or attend as regularly as others in the school.

Information about this school

This is a smaller-than-average primary school. An above average proportion of the pupils are eligible for free school meals and receive the pupil premium.

There were no looked after pupils or any with a parent in the armed services in the school in 2012. None of the pupils speaks English as an additional language. The proportions of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported at school action, school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs are all above average.

The school meets the government's current floor standards, which are the minimum expected for pupils' attainment and progress. The headteacher has been in post since April 2012. There is a playgroup and children's centre on site, but these are not managed by the governing body.
