Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Children have a successful start to school in Nursery and Reception.

They make good progress, which continues through Years 1 and 2. Teaching is typically good, and there are some examples of outstanding practice. Teachers and teaching assistants clearly show high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour.

Teachers set demanding tasks that are well suited to pupils' abilities and learning needs. Pupils who have specific learning and behavioural needs benefit from good individual guidance and support. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school.

In some lessons, their attitudes to learning and behaviour are outstand...ing. Pupils feel safe and very well cared for by staff. The headteacher provides strong leadership and successfully drives improvement.

Other key leaders also make a valuable contribution to raising achievement and improving teaching. Pupils enjoy an interesting range of learning activities, and outdoor learning is a particular strength. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Not enough teaching is outstanding.

Teachers do not always make the most of opportunities to extend pupils' vocabulary and speaking skills. Marking does not always clearly show pupils how to improve their work. Learning is sometimes directed too much by the teacher, so pupils have insufficient opportunities to plan and organise their own work.

Although it has improved recently, attendance is generally below average.
