Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Pupils achieve well, including those with special educational needs and those supported by the pupil premium funding.

They make good and sometimes better progress in English, especially in reading. Teaching is good. Well-planned lessons capture and build on pupils' enthusiasm for learning.

Good relationships mean pupils work well together and become keen and increasingly confident learners. Pupils are happy and proud of their school. They say they feel safe because, 'the teachers take good care and help us with our learning'.

Behaviour is good. Pupils are polite, very friendly, and caring and considerate towards others. The head...teacher's inspiring and motivational leadership has brought stability to the school after the extended period of disruption.

Staff morale is high. Leaders, staff and governors form a strong, united team with a determined ambition to continue to move the school forward. Since the previous inspection, teaching and learning, pupils' achievement, attendance and provision in the Early Years Foundation Stage, which is now good, have improved.

Parents expressed largely positive views and say their children are safe and happy It is not yet an outstanding school because : Achievement in mathematics is not as strong as in English because pupils' progress is slower. Some pupils do not always arrive punctually at the start of the day and so miss valuable learning time. Some parents do not feel they receive enough information about the progress their children are making.
