Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school. Pupils make outstanding progress enabling them to reach above average attainment by the end of Year 2 in reading, writing and mathematics. Sensitive and well-targeted support for disabled pupils and those with special educational needs helps them to learn exceptionally well.

Inspirational teaching motivates pupils so that they are very excited about learning new things and are rarely absent. Teachers provide work that is just right for pupils of differing ability, including the more able. Very occasionally, they do not check up on pupils who are working independently and adapt their tasks so that they maximise learning during a lesson..../>
Pupils behave very well and their attitudes towards learning are exemplary. They take part in all activities with great willingness and total concentration. Pupils are very polite and friendly and enjoy helping each other at playtime and when working in class.

They feel very safe at school. Leadership is of an exceptionally high standard and the headteacher successfully guides other leaders in identifying the next steps needed to develop the school even further. The leadership and management of teaching, including by governors, are highly effective and have led to ongoing improvements in teaching and pupils' achievement since the last inspection.

Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is promoted fully at all times so that pupils gain a deep understanding of how to be a responsible young citizen. Governors have a clear picture of how well the school is doing and consequently are able to offer the right level of challenge and support to help its journey of improvement. The curriculum is varied and exciting.

Wider opportunities for pupils to make choices about how they use their learning in literacy and numeracy to support work in other subjects are being developed. Parents and carers are delighted with the work of the school and are impressed with the quality of information and support they receive.
