This is a good school Leadership has been strengthened through federation with the junior school.
The two schools are now working very effectively together. The local authority has provided support through recent difficult times and the school is now in a strong position to continue its journey of rapid improvement. The executive headteacher has quickly established a shared vision for the school.
She is adept at developing new leaders and has formed an effective team around her. The governing body has a clear understanding of its role. Governors provide robust challenge for school leaders and their sound evaluation of the school's effectiveness is based on a w...ide range of evidence.
The teaching of phonics is effective, so pupils have secure early reading skills. Work to develop comprehension skills is beginning to increase the numbers of pupils who are able to reach the higher standard in reading. Teachers do not routinely use assessment information with sufficient precision when planning learning tasks for some groups, particularly boys and disadvantaged pupils.
Support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is effective. These pupils make good progress from their starting points. By the end of Year 2, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics is above the national average.
Too few pupils achieve the higher standards, particularly in mathematics. The pupil premium funding is used effectively to provide intervention teaching and wider experiences for disadvantaged pupils. Although the difference in attainment for disadvantaged pupils is diminishing as they move through the school, a few have not caught up by the end of Year 2.
In the early years, although most children make good progress, a few fail to catch up quickly in their learning. For these children, provision does not fully meet their development needs. Although the curriculum is broad and balanced, pupils need more opportunities to develop their knowledge and skills in greater depth.
Work to further develop the curriculum is under way. Pupils' social, moral, spiritual and cultural development is based on the school's strong Christian ethos. Behaviour in lessons and around the school is good.
A small minority of pupils find it harder to follow the school rules at more unstructured times of the school day.
