Key findings

This is an outstanding school.

Comments such as, 'This is a fantastic school with very dedicated teachers and support staff… My children feel happy, safe and engaged in their learning,' demonstrate parents and carers' very positive views of the school. Pupils make rapid progress and achievement is outstanding. From starting points that are broadly typical for their age, children get off to an exceptionally good start and achieve outstandingly well in the Early Years Foundation Stage.

This excellent start is built on very effectively, so that pupils' attainment is well above average in English and mathematics by the time pupils leave at the end of Year 4. The majority of teaching is outstanding... and the remainder is consistently good. Teachers motivate pupils in all subjects by providing interesting, practical activities that are very well linked together.

They do not always mark pupils' work effectively, and this occasionally slows the progress made by a very small minority of pupils. Behaviour is excellent. There have been no recent incidents of racial harassment and incidents of bullying are few and far between, and dealt with exceedingly well.

Pupils thrive in an environment where every child is known, cared for and valued; this is helping them to progress very well in both their academic and their personal development. They feel extremely secure in school and have a very good understanding of how to keep themselves safe in various situations, including when using the internet. The headteacher, the deputy headteacher and middle leaders are very effective in sustaining and further improving the high quality of teaching across the school.

They have a detailed understanding of provision and pupils' outcomes in each classroom and they ensure that every teacher receives exactly the support and training they need to help them raise standards of attainment further.
