Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Pupils' attainment at the end of both key stages is above average. Pupils make good progress throughout the school.

Teaching is good. Staff work hard to make lessons interesting and to develop pupils' learning. Teaching assistants provide good support for the teachers and pupils.

Pupils' behaviour is good. They have a good appreciation of how to keep themselves safe. Staff are united and work as a team.

They support the new headteacher who has made a good start in leading the school. Oversight of teaching and learning are good. Close links with the church and the community support pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural de...velopment effectively.

The governing body is well led and is both supportive and challenging. Governors work hard for the benefit of the pupils. The school has an accurate awareness of its strengths and aspects for further development.

Teachers track pupils' progress very effectively and know the pupils' very well. They take very good care of them and so the pupils feel safe. A large majority of parents are very supportive of the school's efforts for their children.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : Pupils' writing skills are not at the same high standard as their reading and mathematics because opportunities to write at length are limited and spelling can be variable in quality. Pupils do not have enough opportunities to investigate in science and to use their mathematics and literacy in this subject to describe the results. More able pupils are not always challenged sufficiently well in the introductions to mathematics lessons in Key Stage 1 and lower Key Stage 2.

Information about this school

This school is smaller than the average-sized primary school. There are five classes of which four are mixed-age. Almost all pupils are White British.

A lower proportion of pupils than usual are entitled to the pupil premium which provides additional government funding for pupils who are looked after by the local authority, known to be eligible for free school meals or from families with a parent in the armed forces. The proportion of pupils entitled to free school meals is about half the national average. The proportions of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported at both school action and school action plus are average.

The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress in English and mathematics. The headteacher commenced her duties at the school in September 2013. Temporary staffing arrangements were in place in two classes during the inspection because of staff indisposition.
