Key findings

This is a good school.

Attainment is above average. The school is not yet outstanding because, although there are examples of outstanding progress, the majority of pupils, particularly those who currently attain average standards in Key Stage 2 and those in the Reception Year, make progress that is no better than good. Pupils achieve well.

Pupils' attainment by the end of Key Stage 2 has been above average for the last three years. The school has recovered from a dip in progress in 2011. Currently, some pupils make outstanding progress.

For example, in Key Stage 2, more-able pupils achieve highly in mathematics, and disabled pupils and those with special educational needs make excepti...onal progress in writing. Progress for the majority of pupils is good. Progress for children in literacy in the Reception Year is satisfactory, but rises to good by the end of Year 1.

Pupils benefit from teaching which promotes their confidence and independence. Consequently, pupils have a sophisticated understanding of how well they are doing, and what they need to do to improve. Occasionally, lesson activities are not challenging enough for all pupils.

In the Reception Year, the teaching of phonics (letters and the sounds they make) does not always meet children's individual learning needs. Pupils demonstrate highly positive attitudes to learning. They act safely, and are polite and courteous.

Pupils with particular needs have made marked improvements in their behaviour over time because behaviour is managed very well by the school. Leaders and managers model best practice to lead and bring about improvements in teaching. School performance is managed well and development planning is well focused on improving progress overall, but not focused enough on improving the progress of average-attainers in Key Stage 2.

The positive school ethos enables pupils to enjoy a curriculum which incorporates many opportunities for their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
