Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The trust and governors have ensured that pupils receive a good standard of education. The trust holds leaders to account effectively to ensure good outcomes for pupils. Leaders work closely with other schools in the local area to share expertise and good practice.

This school-to-school support has improved the quality of teaching. Effective leadership and strong teaching enable pupils to make good progress. Pupils achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics.

Disadvantaged pupils make good progress. Leaders have worked effectively to raise standards in mathematics. Pupils develop strong calculation skills throughout the school and en...joy opportunities to solve problems and give reasons for their answers.

The teaching of reading, writing and phonics is good. Pupils' literacy skills are developed well. While teaching is good overall, sometimes support for the lower-attaining pupils is not consistently of the best quality.

In some classes, teachers focus well on extending pupils' learning and challenging them to think deeply. However, this is not a consistent feature of teaching throughout the school. Pupils' behaviour is good.

They display positive attitudes to learning and want to do well. Leaders promote pupils' personal well-being effectively. Pupils are safe and well cared for.

Leaders' efforts to improve pupils' attendance have been very effective. The proportion of pupils who are persistently absent has fallen and is now in line with the national average. The early years provision is good.

From low starting points, children make good progress. Staff use the newly refurbished learning environment well to promote children's skills across all areas of learning. The leadership of subjects other than English and mathematics is developing.

There is more work to do to ensure that the wider curriculum is planned and taught consistently well so that pupils make strong progress in these subjects. Most parents are pleased with the school's work, particularly the quality of teaching and their children's progress. However, partnerships with parents are not consistently good.

Leaders have not made the most of opportunities for parents to be fully involved in their children's learning. Some parents do not have a positive view of the school. More work is needed to gain their trust and reassure them of the school's strengths.
