Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Pupils make outstanding progress in reading to reach standards that are well-above average.

This is because reading is taught extremely well throughout the school. Standards have improved over time in writing and mathematics so that, by the time pupils leave the school at the end of Year 6, attainment is above average. Lessons are interesting and motivate pupils so that they work hard and make good progress.

There are lots of opportunities to learn literacy and numeracy skills in other subjects. Safety is outstanding. This is because all staff create a nurturing environment where everyone matters and everyone cares.

Parents are ...unanimous in their opinion that pupils are well cared for and that the school keeps them safe. Pupils are happy, confident, courteous and well behaved. They thrive in a calm and purposeful atmosphere.

This, together with regular visits out of school, for example to London and France, helps pupils to develop both their social skills and their cultural understanding.

The school is very well led by the headteacher, other senior staff and governors. They lead by example so that all who work in the school share a strong desire to work together to raise standards. As a result the quality of teaching has improved and attainment has risen significantly, particularly in Key Stage 2.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : The quality of teaching is not yet outstanding because teachers sometimes plan work without taking enough notice of how well pupils have done in previous lessons.

Information about this school

The pupil premium is additional funding for those pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals, children from service families and those children that are looked after by the local authority. The vast majority of pupils are of White British heritage and all speak English as their first language.

The proportion of pupils supported through school action, school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is higher than that found nationally. The school meets the current floor standards, which set the government's minimum expectations for attainment and progress in English and mathematics at the end of Year 6. The school has recently been awarded the Gold Artsmark.
