Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school Leaders, staff, governors and trustees are successfully realising their common purpose for all pupils to make strong progress as the school continues to grow.

The headteacher's ambition for all pupils to achieve, regardless of their starting points, has resulted in consistently strong teaching and positive outcomes for pupils. Leaders are accurate in their evaluation of the school's effectiveness. They are clear about their priorities for improvement.

During a period of significant turbulence and change, governors and trustees have successfully enabled leaders to focus on the quality of teaching and pupils' progress. Governors rec...ognise that leadership capacity needs to expand as the school continues to grow. The quality of teaching is of a consistently high quality, particularly in reading, writing and mathematics.

Pupils of all abilities make strong progress as a result. The proportion of pupils working at greater depth in reading, writing and mathematics, including pupils who are disadvantaged, increases as they progress through the school. The curriculum is varied and interesting.

It gives pupils the opportunity to gain knowledge across a range of subjects. This engages and motivates them to learn. However, pupils do not acquire skills specific to each subject in a steady, systematic way.

Provision for pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is effective. Pupils have numerous opportunities to enjoy visits to places of social and cultural interest and to welcome visitors to their school. Through their work to develop the school council, pupils deepen their understanding of democracy.

Provision for early years is strong. Children learn to read right from the start. They speak confidently and work well independently, engaging in and enjoying all the activities on offer.

Safeguarding is effective. Leaders have successfully established a strong culture for keeping children safe. Parents and carers, staff and pupils are overwhelmingly positive about the school's work; 100% of parents would recommend this school to another parent.
