The headteacher has ensured that there are high expectations across the school of the progress pupils should make in reading, writing and mathematics. However, leaders are not always precise enough in identifying how to accelerate the progress that the most able pupils make.

Children get off to a strong start in the Nursery and Reception classes. Parents are very positive about the support they receive from adults. Leaders ensure that children, including disadvantaged children, make the progress they should.

Through the well-planned curriculum, pupils are well prepared for their future lives. Pupils also receive good guidance on how to keep themselves safe and how to lead healthy lifestyles both now and in the future. Pupils behave well and are increasingly able to take responsibility for their own behaviour as they move about the large school site.

Extra support provided is effective as it helps the few pupils who need it, to manage their behaviour and come to school more often. A few parents report that they are not kept well informed of actions leaders take to attend to concerns raised. Inspectors agree that this aspect of communication needs to improve.
