Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders have brought about significant improvements to the quality of teaching.

As a result, pupils attending the school make good progress and standards are rising quickly in reading, writing and mathematics. Leaders understand the strengths of the school and priorities for development. With the support of staff, they drive improvement work with determination.

Teaching is good and teachers' subject knowledge is secure. Consequently, planned work is challenging and supports the learning of pupils of different abilities. Subject leaders are effective and organise the curriculum well.

As a result, more pupils reach or exceed the st...andards expected for their age Provision in the early years is good. Children make good progress as a result of effective leadership and teaching. As a result, they are well prepared for key stage 1.

The school's arrangements to support disadvantaged pupils are effective. They make good progress. Pupils' behaviour is good and exclusions have reduced.

Pupils demonstrate respect for each other and all adults working at the school. Pupils proudly follow the school's values, which make a positive contribution to their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Attendance has improved because all leaders and staff take effective steps to reduce persistent absence.

Governors carry out their roles effectively. They successfully steer the direction of the school, while holding leaders to account for improving the quality of education. In mathematics, some teaching is not precise enough to help all pupils understand how rules and methods work.

As a result, some pupils with lower prior attainment are less confident when applying their mathematical knowledge. Written work set in some subjects other than English is not well matched to the abilities of all pupils. The school's analysis of pupil progress is accurate.

However, not all leaders use the information to focus sufficiently on the achievement of some pupil groups, which can slow some improvements in teaching.
