Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school.

Achievement is outstanding and has improved since the last inspection. Senior leaders and governors carefully consider what each individual pupil needs in order for them to be happy and successful. Because of this, standards reached by pupils have been well above average over the last five years.

The majority of teaching is outstanding, and teachers have very high expectations of pupils. Teachers use their detailed knowledge of each pupil's ability to set challenges and make lessons interesting. Pupils are not always given sufficient opportunities in lessons to take the lead in their learning, and in-doing-so find things out for ...themselves.

Behaviour is outstanding. Pupils are very proud of their school and relish the opportunity of taking on responsibilities. Their exemplary behaviour makes an exceptional contribution to a safe and productive learning environment.

School governance is very strong. Governors' knowledge and understanding of the school and how it can improve even further is exemplary. Outstanding leadership, management and governance have ensured that pupils' achievement and the quality of teaching have continually improved since the last inspection.

Although teachers are increasingly sharing their outstanding practice across the school, this is still not a consistent practice.
