Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Trustees and school leaders have taken swift action to rectify a recent dip in achievement. As a result, most of the current pupils are making strong progress. The most able pupils and girls continue to make rapid progress.

New curriculum topics are better engaging boys in their learning. Consequently, boys are catching up with girls. The pupil premium is being used more effectively.

Disadvantaged pupils are, therefore, rapidly catching up with others in the school and nationally. Improvements in the quality of teaching, learning and assessment are having a more positive impact on the progress made by pupils who have low prior attainment ...and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, leaders have accurately identified that some of these pupils, and some who have average prior attainment, are not yet making the progress they should.

Children get off to a good start in the early years, particularly in reading, writing and mathematics. They go on to achieve well in the Year 1 national phonics screening check. The headteacher has established a positive culture for learning.

Pupils are eager to learn and they work productively together. They are considerate towards others and behave well. They attend school regularly.

Procedures for safeguarding are robust. Pupils feel safe in school and they learn how to stay safe.
