Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school. Children make exceptional progress in Nursery and Reception.

Teachers throughout the school continue to build on this excellent start. The quality of teaching and, consequently, pupils' achievement are outstanding. The curriculum is exciting for pupils and makes them want to learn.

While pupils who are eligible for additional funding through the pupil premium do as well as other pupils in the school in reading, some do not reach the same standards as others in their writing and mathematics. The headteacher and senior leaders have made enormous improvements to all area of the school's work since the previous inspection. The govern...ing body is a major influence in driving the school forward and bringing success.

Pupils' attendance is above average. They feel safe and are very proud of what they achieve. Their excellent behaviour, politeness and good manners are a credit to both them and the school.
