Key Findings

This is an outstanding school. It provides pupils with an exceptionally safe and caring environment which, coupled with teaching of the highest quality at every stage, ensures that pupils enjoy school greatly and achieve outstandingly well given their starting points. Pupils make very rapid and secure progress as they move up through the school.

The majority of children join the Early Years Foundation Stage speaking very little or no English. By the time they leave the school, attainment is above average in English and mathematics. The school's highly effective focus on developing pupils' speaking skills and their confidence as learners is consistent across all key stages.

It pays huge dividen...ds and makes sure that every pupil is outstandingly well prepared for future success. Teachers are exceptionally knowledgeable and provide pupils with exciting tasks that fully stimulate their learning. A recently refined system for tracking pupils' attainment and progress has been introduced.

Most teaching uses assessment data astutely to provide tasks that are appropriately challenging and closely matched to the needs and abilities of different groups of pupils. On a very few occasions, however, the level of challenge is a little too low or too high for some pupils. Pupils' attitudes to learning and their behaviour in lessons and around the school are exemplary.

Pupils are confident and courteous to each other, adults and visitors. They feel exceptionally safe in school. Attendance is consistently above average for all groups of pupils.
