Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher, teachers, governors and the trust have exhibited a relentless determination to improve the school over the last two years. As a result, the provision in key stages 1 and 2 is now good. Current pupils from Year 1 to Year 6, including disadvantaged pupils and those pupils who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities, are achieving well.

Standards in reading, writing and mathematics across the school have improved year on year. Current pupils continue to make good progress from their various starting points. Leaders monitor pupils' progress regularly so they can quickly support individual pupils and help them catch up....

This ensures that they make good progress and attain at least what is expected of pupils of the same age. Teaching across key stages 1 and 2 is highly effective. Teachers' planning and questioning ensure that pupils gain knowledge and apply new skills well.

Pupils experience a broad and enriching curriculum. Pupils access a wide range of experiences and challenges. They investigate different subjects, including exciting activities, various trips and visiting speakers.

Staff care for the pupils. Adults respond well to pupils' welfare needs. This includes a well-resourced nurture class where pupils with behavioural difficulties receive timely and effective support and are well looked after.

Safeguarding is effective. Pupils' attitudes towards their learning are highly positive. They take pride in their work and use their engaging learning environment to further their reading skills and develop their understanding of different subjects.

Teaching, learning and assessment in early years are not yet securely good. The planning of learning opportunities, including phonics for some of the youngest children, is not yet challenging or consistent enough to ensure that they make the progress of which they are capable. Some leaders and teachers newer to their posts are not clear about their responsibilities in the school, and are not yet effective at measuring the impact that they are having on the most able pupils' outcomes.
