Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders have successfully created a happy, safe, caring and inclusive school community, where pupils enjoy learning and are very well cared for. Parents, pupils and staff are proud of their school. Leaders ensure that the quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good.

Consequently, most pupils make strong progress in English, mathematics and a range of subjects across the curriculum. Pupils display excellent attitudes to learning and their behaviour is exemplary. They have a sound understanding of fundamental British values, which prepares them very well for their future lives.

Pupils say that they feel safe in school. They are ver...y knowledgeable about how to keep themselves safe when using the internet. Members of the governing body fulfil their statutory duties effectively.

They have an accurate understanding of the school's performance. Governors routinely support and challenge leaders to ensure that pupils receive a high-quality education. Leaders' work to promote the creative and visual arts is a particular strength.

Pupils enjoy the wide range of opportunities they are offered through the school's rich and varied curriculum. Pupils gain strong knowledge, understanding and skills in a wide range of subjects. However, teachers do not always provide pupils with sufficient opportunities to apply their mathematics and writing skills across the curriculum.

Sometimes, teachers set activities that are not sufficiently demanding to deepen pupils' learning. This prevents pupils, particularly the most able, from making even better progress. Children in the early years learn and play in a safe and stimulating environment.

Teaching is good and most children make strong progress. However, adults do not always challenge children sufficiently, for example to extend their writing skills.
