Key findings

This is an outstanding school. The headteacher and senior staff provide a clear and ambitious vision for the future and all staff are very highly motivated to achieve it.

Pupils are extremely keen to learn and are very well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils, parents and carers are fully supportive and extremely proud of their school. All groups of pupils make outstanding progress and reach above average attainment by the end of Year 4.

Attainment in reading and mathematics is particularly high, more so than in writing. The school is very successful in ensuring that pupils of all abilities, including disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs, aim high and... achieve very well. The small proportion of pupils from different minority ethnic backgrounds also achieve extremely well.

The quality of teaching is outstanding. Teachers and support staff bring learning to life through fast-paced and highly motivating activities which take hold of the pupils' attention and instill the skills and desire to learn. The school has identified that there are not always sufficient opportunities for pupils to produce extended pieces of writing in subjects other than literacy in order to further improve writing across the school.

Pupils are kind, thoughtful and considerate towards each other. Their behaviour in and around school is exemplary and they have a very good understanding of how to keep themselves free from harm. They say they feel very safe and are extremely well looked after.

The headteacher and her team of teachers work very closely together, constantly improving the quality of education they provide. As a result, the school has built on the many strengths seen at the last inspection and there has been a strong trend of improvement in many aspects of its work, including pupils' achievement. The rich and very well-planned curriculum promotes high levels of spiritual, moral, social and cultural development throughout school.

Information about the school

This school is much smaller than average with 40% of pupils coming from out of catchment. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is above average. The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic groups and those who speak English as an additional language is below the national average.

A small number of children from the Traveller community attend the school. The school meets the current government floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for attainment and progress. The school has gained the Eco Schools Award, Healthy Schools status and the Leading Parent Partnership award.
