Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Pupils make good progress throughout the school. The skills of children starting in the Nursery are less well developed than is usual for that age.

This year, pupils leaving Year 6 were, overall, two terms ahead of what is normal for 11-year-olds. In 2013, Year 6 pupils had particularly high standards in mathematics. Pupils make good headway with reading.

Pupils of all abilities and backgrounds do well. Teaching has been effective over time. During the inspection, no inadequate teaching was seen, the great majority was good and occasionally teaching was outstanding.

Pupils behave well and know how to keep themselves safe. In les...sons they are generally attentive and make good efforts with their work. They are considerate of others and courteous to adults.

Senior staff have a good understanding of what is going well and what requires further development. The management of subjects and particular elements of the school's work is sound. Staff are well-managed and are very committed to the success of the school and its pupils.

Although some governors are new to their positions, they are well-informed and very diligent in carrying out their responsibilities. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Occasionally, teachers do not make the best use of time in lessons or activities are not pitched at quite the right level for pupils. Teachers' checks on the standards pupils have reached are not always reliable.

This limits the accuracy with which further learning can be planned. Some aspects of pupils' writing are not as well developed as they could be. Some have immature handwriting.

Spelling and punctuation do not always have sufficient attention. Pupils rarely revise pieces of writing in the light of teachers' guidance in order to improve phrasing and style.

The proportion of pupils who are eligible for the pupil premium (additional funding allocated for pupils in the care of the local authority, known to be eligible for free school meals or whose parents are in the armed services) is above average, and increasing.

The proportion of pupils whose learning needs are supported at the level known as school action is below average.
