Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders and governors have successfully improved pupils' outcomes, the curriculum and the quality of teaching across the school. Pupils make good progress. Disadvantaged pupils now thrive as a result of the high-quality support and care they receive.

Staff morale is high. The headteacher has ensured that teachers' workload is manageable and that they are well trained to improve their skills. The curriculum has improved so that it is engaging and stimulating.

Trips and visits bring learning alive for pupils. The science curriculum in key stage 2 is now strong. Leaders are aware that they now need to improve the key stage 1 science curricul...um.

Teachers question pupils well to deepen their understanding. However, assessment is not always used effectively to identify the next steps in pupils' learning. Pupils behave well.

They feel safe and secure from any threats of bullying. Attendance is similar to that of other primary schools across the country. Pupils' personal development and welfare are outstanding.

Pupils often take the initiative, with minimal adult supervision, to help those who might be less fortunate than themselves. Pupils write neatly and legibly in writing lessons but the standard of their handwriting is not as high across other subjects. In the early years, standards rose in 2018.

Children make good progress and are prepared well for the demands of Year 1. Opportunities are sometimes missed in the early years to improve children's vocabulary.
