Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school From the outset of setting up the school, the headteacher, governors and trustees have set high expectations for learning and behaviour. These expectations are clearly shared with pupils, parents, carers and staff. Children in the early years quickly develop skills that allow them to learn and play happily together.

Provision for children in the early years is exemplary. The teaching of phonics is effective. Pupils use their skills well and are making increasingly better progress as a result.

. The teaching of mathematics is a strength of the school. A consistent approach enables pupils to become fluent in key mathematical skills and to a...pply them in a range of problem-solving and reasoning contexts.

Through their policies and procedures, leaders have created a safe culture. Pupils' behaviour is excellent and demonstrates that they have genuinely adopted the school's ethos and values. Provision for vulnerable pupils is a strength of the school.

Pupils who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities and pupils who speak English as an additional language make good progress. The curriculum is broad and filled with rich experiences. The curriculum is adapted carefully to cater for pupils new to the country or new to the school.

As a result, the curriculum meets pupils' academic, emotional and social needs effectively. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the education and support provided for their children. They speak passionately about the work that staff do to make sure that their children achieve well.

Where pupils' attainment is lower, they are making strong progress from their starting points. The teaching of the wider curriculum is not as strong as the teaching of reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils do not have enough opportunities to apply their writing and mathematics skills in other subjects.
