This is a good school. The school has made considerable improvements in teaching and achievement since the previous inspection.
Achievement is now good. Children in the Nursery and Reception make a good start and achieve well. Good progress continues in Years 1 and 2.
Progress in Years 3 to 6 has improved and is now good, especially in reading and mathematics. Attainment by the end of Year 6 was well above average in 2013 and much higher than in previous years. Teaching has improved, particularly in Years 3 to 6, and is good overall.
There are now regular examples of outstanding practice in a number of classes. The school has a positive and welcoming ...atmosphere where pupils thrive. Pupils show positive attitudes to learning and participate well in the learning activities provided.
Behaviour is good in lessons and around the school. At times, pupils' attitudes, behaviour and their relationships with others are exemplary. Procedures to ensure pupils are safe are effective.
Pupils feel safe and very well looked after by staff. Pupils enjoy the good range of additional activities on offer, such as clubs, educational visits and themed events. The headteacher provides ambition, drive and vision in raising pupils' achievement and in improving teaching.
She has been the key to the improvements made since the last inspection. The headteacher is well supported by the deputy headteacher, other leaders, staff and governors. It is not yet an outstanding school because : On occasions, teaching does not fully extend the most-able pupils.
Pupils' attainment and progress in writing are not as strong as they are in reading and mathematics. There are not yet enough opportunities for pupils to apply and develop their writing skills in different subjects.
