Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The executive headteacher, associate headteacher, senior leaders and governors have a very clear vision for the school, with Christian values at the heart of this. There have been many improvements since the last inspection which have led to better outcomes for pupils across the school. All staff and governors understand the vital part they play in safeguarding.

As a result, pupils are kept safe through the care and vigilance of the staff. Children in early years, including those who are disadvantaged, make strong progress from their starting points. Most teachers deliver engaging lessons which meet pupils' needs well.

Leaders are now wor...king to make this consistent across the school. Staff are often ambitious for the most able pupils, helping them to succeed. On occasion, work is not challenging enough to ensure that these pupils achieve as well as possible.

The curriculum is broad and balanced. Pupils visit places of interest in the local area to bring their learning to life. The governing body has developed significantly since the last inspection.

Governors have a clear understanding of the work of the school and more often challenge leaders effectively. Pupils are respectful and generally behave well. They are kind to each other and work well together.

Most leaders have a precise understanding of any weaknesses in the school and put in place effective plans to tackle these. Some middle leaders are being supported to have a greater impact Parents and carers are overwhelmingly supportive of the school and pleased by the nurture and education their children receive. One parent said: 'I am proud that my children come to this school.

There is so much passion here.'
