This is an outstanding school. Pupils thrive in all aspects of their academic achievement and personal development.
The significant majority of parents and carers who gave their views were extremely positive about the school. Achievement is outstanding. On entry to the Early Years Foundation Stage, children's knowledge and experience is in line and for some, below those expected for their age.
Pupils make outstanding progress so that by the time they leave at the end of Year 6, their attainment in English and mathematics is well above average overall, although fewer pupils reach Level 5 in writing. Outstanding teaching over time results in outstanding progress for all groups of pupils. For exa...mple, those who join the school during Key Stage 2 make equally outstanding progress.
Occasionally, there are missed opportunities to further improve and enhance writing by extending pupils' vocabulary and ensuring that they diligently and consistently use accurate punctuation and grammar. Behaviour and safety are outstanding. Pupils have extremely positive attitudes to learning from an early age.
They talk enthusiastically about how much they enjoy school and this is reflected in well-above average levels of attendance. Teachers have very high expectations and consistently apply the highly effective behaviour management system which, particularly for those new to the school, helps pupils to reflect on and consider the consequences of their behaviour on others. Pupils are adamant they feel safe and this is reflected in parents' and carers' views.
The headteacher provides visionary and inspirational leadership. Her drive, example and relentless focus on the leadership of teaching and the management of performance have ensured that all staff are committed to the pursuit of excellence. Staff show determination in providing an innovative curriculum which captures pupils' imaginations and promotes outstanding spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
Information about the school
This is a much smaller than average-size primary school. Most pupils are White British and a small number are of mixed race heritage. The proportion of pupils supported by school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is below average.
Since the previous inspection there has been an increase in the number of pupils joining the school during Key Stages 1 and 2. The headteacher has a substantial teaching commitment in addition to senior management responsibilities. For part of the week, pupils are taught in two mixed-age classes.
One class comprises Nursery, Reception and pupils in Years 1 and 2. The other class comprises Years 3, 4, 5, and 6. However, for English and mathematics, pupils are taught by ability groups.
The school exceeds the government's current floor standard, which sets the minimum expectations for attainment and progress in English and mathematics. The school has Healthy School status. Since the previous inspection the school has received the Lancashire Physical Education Gold Mark Award and Lancashire County Council Learning Excellence Award for innovative curriculum practice.
Inspection grades: 1 is outstanding, 2 is good, 3 is satisfactory and 4 is inadequate Please turn to the glossary for a description of the grades and inspection terms
