Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school. Pupils make outstanding progress in learning to read, write and in mathematics. The school's many exciting activities enable them to use these skills in different subjects.

Rapid progress is sustained throughout the school, so that by Year 4 many pupils are working at levels well in advance of their age. This is the result of outstanding teaching. Activities are carefully chosen which meet pupils' needs exactly and captivate their interest.

Pupils' behaviour is outstanding. They are extremely polite and friendly. Pupils show immense pride in their achievements because : these are praised and celebrated by adults.

Older p...upils provide excellent models to younger ones. Pupils say that they feel very safe. The school's curriculum is very rich, especially in science, art and music.

Although pupils are skilled in using information and communication technology (ICT), this is not always used to full effect to extend their reading and writing skills. Children make an exceptionally good start in the Reception class and gain great confidence. The headteacher and the governing body have maintained the outstanding aspects of the school's work since the previous inspection and have further improved teaching and pupils' progress.

Information about this school

The school is smaller than the average-sized primary school. Formerly an infant school, the school changed two years ago to become a primary school. Hence there are now pupils in Years 3 and 4.

These pupils will remain at the school in Years 5 and 6, so that in the longer-term the school will become a primary school for pupils aged 4-11. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for the pupil premium (in this school, pupils who are known to be eligible for free school meals) is below average. Most pupils are of White British heritage.

The proportion of pupils supported at school action is well below average. The proportion of pupils supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is broadly average. It is not possible to comment on the success of the school in meeting the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress, as there have not been any Year 6 pupils yet.
