This is a good school The executive headteacher and the head of school provide strong leadership.
They ensure that pupils and staff are at the heart of any decisions they make. The executive headteacher, head of school and senior leaders have a highly accurate understanding of the school's strengths and the areas where further improvements are needed. Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is exceptionally well promoted.
The school's ethos of 'aspire, believe, succeed' and its mission statement 'Do Everything With Love' are evident in all aspects of school life. Pupils' behaviour in class is good. Pupils settle quickly to work and enjoy lear...ning.
They describe their lessons as 'interesting and fun'. The quality of teaching is good. Teachers have a strong understanding of the needs of their pupils and how to help them succeed.
Pupils feel safe in school and know how to keep themselves safe. Disadvantaged pupils, and those who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities, receive effective additional support. Most achieve well from their different starting points.
Governors are improving their effectiveness and have an understanding of the school's strengths and areas for improvement. However, they acknowledge that some aspects of their work, for example the quality of communication with parents, need improving. The leadership of the early years is strong.
Staff work collaboratively to ensure good provision for the children in their care. The curriculum is lively and interesting. Pupils enjoy the wide range of topics they study.
Leaders' actions to improve pupils' progress and outcomes in writing across the school are beginning to prove successful. Nurture provision at the school is having a very positive impact on those pupils with challenging behaviour. Some middle leaders are new to the role and do not yet have a sufficiently strong influence on their areas of responsibility.
The most able pupils are not consistently challenged. As a result, they do not reliably attain the high standards of which they are capable.
