Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Teaching, learning and pupils' achievement have improved rapidly because of the relentless drive and tenacity of school leaders and governors to ensure the best outcomes for pupils.

.The latest information about the school's performance, work in pupils' books and evidence in lessons show that pupils are making good progress in their learning. The teaching of phonics is good.

The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard at the end of Year 1 has been above average for the past three years. Pupils' achievement has improved particularly well in mathematics because the teaching of mathematics has improved substantially since the pre...vious inspection. Governors' vision for the school is clearly defined.

It is shared by senior leaders, most teachers and support staff alike. Pupils are exceptionally well supported in their learning in a culture of high expectations. Subject leaders have an exceptionally clear understanding of the barriers to learning in their subjects.

They have drawn up exceedingly well-designed plans to overcome these to bring about further improvements. Senior and middle leaders have very successfully improved disadvantaged pupils' achievement. They have spent pupil premium funding astutely to support the learning of these pupils.

Pupils behave well around school. They are kind and polite towards each other and exceptionally welcoming of visitors. The pastoral manager and office manager have a highly effective impact on improving pupils' attendance.

The number of pupils regularly absent from school has decreased rapidly this year. The early years is exceptionally well led. Learning opportunities provided have improved exceedingly well.

Children make and sustain exceptionally fast progress in their learning and development from their individual starting points. Occasionally, inconsistencies in teaching mean that all pupils do not achieve as well as they could in their learning. In a small number of lessons, the behaviour of a few pupils slightly disrupts learning.

The school's effectiveness has improved well since the previous inspection. It is continuing to improve because of the firm and decisive leadership of senior leaders, governors and officers of the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership.
