From low starting points, pupils achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics. Teaching is good. School leaders closely check the quality of teaching, and use staff training to improve it further. Pupils are keen to learn. They have good relationships with adults and other children. Their behaviour is generally good. They feel safe in school. The curriculum offers a wide range of learning experiences for the pupils. Leaders, managers and governors know the school well and ensure that pupils’ achievement continues to rise. Governors provide a high level of support and challenge as the school aims for further improvement. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Although progress is good, pupils’ attainment by the end of Key Stage 1 is no higher than average. In lessons, teachers do not always use information they have about the pupils to plan lessons that fully meet their needs. Teachers’ marking does not regularly give pupils advice on how to improve. Although there have been some recent improvements, pupils’ attendance is below average. |
