Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school.

Strong school leadership has improved teaching since the previous inspection. As a result, pupils make good progress and achieve well. Teaching is at least good and occasionally outstanding.

It interests and engages pupils so that they are keen to learn. Standards in English and mathematics have risen and Year 6 are, currently, ahead of previous year groups at this stage in the school year. Thorough checks on each pupil's progress ensure that teachers know exactly how well they are doing or if any need additional help.

Good use is made of the support available from teaching assistants. They contribute well to the development of ...pupils' early reading and writing skills. Governors contribute well to the school's effectiveness.

The school provides a calm and orderly learning environment in which pupils behave well and feel safe. Pupils enjoy coming to school and attendance has risen considerably. The school promotes pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development very well.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : Weaknesses in children's personal and social development are not tackled effectively in Reception. Occasionally, teachers do not check pupils' understanding carefully enough to ensure that all pupils understand before moving on to new learning. Homework is not used consistently well to consolidate and extend classroom learning.

Information about this school

This is an above average-sized primary school. The large majority of pupils are White British. The proportion of pupils for whom the school receives the pupil premium is below average.

This is additional government funding for particular groups, such as pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those in local authority care. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is below average, as is the proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress.
