Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders ensured that a decline in standards in 2016 was swiftly arrested.

There are now good systems in place and pupils' progress is checked stringently. There is a range of strategies to help pupils who need to catch up. As a result, standards improved impressively in 2017.

The chief executive officer and school leaders work well together. The trust has provided effective support to the school. This has included facilitating the cross-school moderation of pupils' work to make sure teachers' assessments are accurate.

Pupils' progress is rapid in mathematics. The most able pupils are working at reasoning and problem-solving at gr...eater depth. The leader in charge of teaching and learning has focused on improving pupils' vocabulary to improve their understanding of texts.

In addition, enhanced vocabulary work is improving pupils' writing, so that more pupils now reach the higher standards in literacy. The progress of disadvantaged pupils and those who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities is monitored closely by a well-qualified team. The individual needs of pupils are understood and met well.

Pupils' presentation of their work, especially in the core subjects, is neat. Good handwriting is developed from early years onwards. The wider curriculum is well planned.

Subject leaders match topics to the curriculum requirements and age-related expectations. However, there are inconsistencies in curriculum delivery. Oracy work, including discussion of topics that relate to the spiritual, moral, social and cultural curriculum, is effective.

However, written work is less well developed and limits expression. Pupils behave well in lessons and at breaktime. There was no evidence of disruption to learning or poor behaviour during the inspection.

Overall attendance is improving. However, the attendance of disadvantaged pupils and those who have SEN and/or disabilities, though improving steadily, is not yet close to the national average. Children in Reception classes are making good progress.

The majority achieve a good level of development before moving on to Year 1.
