Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. The school has improved on its performance since the previous inspection.

Children make good progress in the Early Years Foundation Stage. Teaching of the links between sounds and letters is well developed. Standards in English and mathematics are rising quickly and are now good in both Key Stages 1 and 2.

Support for disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is good and supplemented by further work before and after school. Teaching is good and some is outstanding. Pupils' behaviour is of a very high standard.

Pupils feel safe. Safeguarding arrangements are thorough. Relationships between pupils and adults are... good and ensure that pupils make good progress.

The school is well led and managed. Steps to improve achievement and teaching have been effective. Subject leaders have increased responsibility.

They are improving progress rates and teaching quality. Governors are knowledgeable, supportive and have increased the challenge they offer. Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is very good.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : All teaching is not yet outstanding. Teachers and learning support assistants do not have frequent enough opportunities to observe the best teaching skills in the school. Marking does not always show pupils, through discussion with them, how to reach their long-term goals.

There are a few lessons where teachers do not challenge pupils enough, and presentation of work is variable. In these lessons, pupils do not have regular opportunities to work on their own.

Information about this school

The school is smaller than the average-sized primary school.

The very large majority of the pupils are White British. The proportion of pupils supported through school action is above average, but the proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is below average. The proportion of pupils for whom the school receives the pupil premium (additional government funding to help pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, children in the care of the local authority and children with a parent in the armed forces) is below the national average.

The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. The present Year 6 is the school's second Year 6 group, following the reorganisation of schools in the county. The headteacher was appointed in September 2010, and almost all of the teaching staff are new to the school since the last inspection.
