Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Since the previous inspection, leaders and governors have successfully changed the school from a first school to a primary school, improving many aspects of provision while introducing Years 5 and 6.

Leaders have created a culture where behaviour is outstanding. Pupils are extremely polite, courteous and welcoming to visitors. The curriculum engages pupils' interest and ensures that pupils make progress in a wide range of subjects The school's focus on sport and physical education (PE) promotes healthy living effectively.

The early years foundation stage provides pupils with an excellent springboard for Year 1. Most teaching is enthusiast...ic and inspires pupils, but additional support is not always targeted well enough, especially in small-group interventions outside of the classroom. Assessment is not fine-tuned sufficiently to check what pupils can do and then to quickly challenge them to make further progress.

The school is successful in ensuring that, at the end of Year 6, most pupils reach the standard expected for their age in reading and mathematics. However, given their success at the end of key stage 1, especially at higher levels, pupils' progress in key stage 2 has been insufficient to attain the higher levels in Year 6. As a result, although improving because of inspiring leadership, overall, pupils' outcomes, and particularly outcomes for the most able, still require improvement.
