Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school Leaders at all levels, including governors, are highly ambitious for the school and are very keen to provide every pupil with the best education. Leadership has created a distinctive culture, which seeks to identify and remove any barriers to learning.

The governing body is very well informed, and it makes an excellent contribution to the school's development. Teachers use books and texts as a source of stimulation, learning and reflection. Words and their meanings, in context, are discussed at length, and pupils engage attentively.

Mathematics is taught highly effectively. Pupils are very respectful. They listen to each other's i...deas, and support each other in their learning.

This has a strong and positive impact on their progress.

Positive relationships enable pupils to gain confidence and feel safe at school.

Pupils are not afraid to make mistakes. They are taught how to manage their feelings and apply themselves to their learning. Leadership of the early years is strong, demonstrating ambition for children's development.
