Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher and leadership team are accomplished experts in education. They have exceptionally high ambitions for their staff and pupils and have delivered impressive improvements to the school.

The quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good and improving. Leaders ensure that they sustain practice where it is strong and bring about improvements where it is not. Leaders have created an inclusive school that works very well with the local community.

The broad and balanced curriculum that leaders have created ensures that pupils, regardless of background, are ready for the next steps in their education. Disadvantaged pupils and... pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good progress. The use of support assistants is highly effective.

Governors provide excellent support and challenge to leaders and hold them clearly to account. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders have ensured that staff are alert to the risks and signs of harm and act effectively when concerns arise.

Skilful teaching of mathematics leads to exceedingly strong outcomes. Pupils apply their sophisticated understanding of mathematics to real situations very well. Consequently, outcomes in mathematics are very strong.

Pupils' writing across the curriculum is strong, with excellent handwriting, presentation and sophisticated use of language. Pupils work hard in lessons. They are well behaved and take responsibility in their learning, at playtime and while moving about the school.

Teachers do not always provide enough challenge in subjects other than writing and mathematics. This limits some pupils from taking next steps in their learning, including the most able, and occasionally results in distracted behaviour. Children in the early years make good progress from their starting points.

Although rising, attainment in the early years is not yet in line with national expectations. Occasionally, children are not given enough challenge to ensure that they make the progress they should.
