This is a good school. Its strengths stem from the excellent leadership of the headteacher and a shared determination that all pupils should achieve equally well.
Parents and carers are overwhelmingly supportive. The school is not outstanding because teaching is not consistently of a high enough quality to ensure that recent improvement in pupils' achievement is firmly embedded. The achievement of all groups of pupils, including disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs, is good.
Attainment in writing and mathematics at the end of Year 6 is average. Reading is taught well throughout the school, and attainment in reading is above average. Pupils in Year 6 made particularly ra...pid progress in English and mathematics in 2011.
Pupils' good progress is due to much good and some outstanding teaching. There are, however, a few inconsistencies. Sometimes pupils spend too long listening to lengthy introductions or explanations and opportunities are missed to help more-able pupils to make more rapid progress.
Marking does not always provide enough guidance on what pupils must do to improve their work. Pupils' enjoyment of school is clearly demonstrated by their above-average attendance and exemplary behaviour. They willingly take on responsibilities and make excellent contributions to the school community.
Pupils know how to keep themselves safe, and parents and carers agree that they are kept very safe. Outstanding leadership of teaching and management of performance are key factors in this rapidly improving school. The headteacher has developed an exceptionally strong team ethos as all staff and the governing body willingly share responsibility for driving the school forward.
Imaginative curricular planning, particularly for outdoor learning, means that learning is purposeful and enjoyable. The development of pupils' interest in the world around them makes a strong contribution to their excellent spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
