This is a good school Energetic leadership, dedicated staff and strong support from the academy trust underpin this school's rapid improvements. Subject leaders, who are mostly new to post, are learning quickly. They do not yet fully evaluate the impact of what they do.
The teaching of early reading and phonics is of high quality. This enables pupils to develop a love of books and reading. Mathematics is taught well, ensuring that pupils become confident and fluent in using basic mathematical skills.
Science and humanities subjects are taught frequently and well. However, the curriculum does not always build on the knowledge pupils already have. This is reflec...ted in below-average attainment in science.
The curriculum develops pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural awareness well. This contributes to pupils' good personal development and welfare. There is a rich menu of extra-curricular activities on offer.
Many pupils enjoy taking part in musical and sporting activities. Pupils generally behave well both in lessons and outdoors. Bullying is rare and dealt with decisively.
Boys do not present their work as neatly and legibly as girls. Pupils make good progress in reading, writing and mathematics as a result of good teaching. However, the most able do not make the progress of which they are capable.
Children in early years thrive as a result of the good teaching, fun activities and focus on developing the essentials of communication and literacy. Activities in the outdoor area of early years do not offer the same level of challenge as the classrooms.
