This is a good school Senior leaders have high ambitions for the school. Their unyielding determination has meant that they have overseen rapid improvements to the quality of teaching, learning and assessment.
Leaders' actions have improved pupils' achievement throughout key stage 2. The progress of pupils in reading, writing and mathematics has rapidly improved in 2018. The trust provides excellent support for leaders at all levels and has ensured that any weaknesses in leadership have been successfully addressed.
As a result of very strong and focused professional development, the quality of teaching is good. Those who are new to the profession are particula...rly well supported. Pupils are proud of their school.
Work to promote pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is highly effective. Pupils' understanding of British values is strong. They have a strong understanding of racism, know this is wrong and say that it is not an issue in this school.
The school's curriculum strongly supports pupils' language development. This helps pupils, particularly those who speak English as an additional language, to make good progress in their learning. Governors are very well informed and provide effective support and challenge to leaders.
Although the teaching of phonics during lesson time is effective, pupils do not apply their phonics knowledge routinely across the curriculum. Therefore, misconceptions in learning are not addressed. Teachers and teaching assistants ask effective questions during lessons, but do not routinely give pupils the time they need to respond.
Some pupils have developed an over-reliance on adults and this has reduced the capacity for pupils to work independently. Teachers do not always insist on high standards of presentation and neatness in pupils' work.
