Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The executive headteacher and leadership team have led dramatic improvement in all areas of provision.

The work of the executive headteacher is praised by governors, staff, pupils and parents and carers alike. Since becoming an academy, the whole school, especially the early years foundation stage, has been transformed. Pupils' academic attainment in key stage 1 and early years is now in line with that of pupils nationally and particularly strong in reading and mathematics.

Pupils behave very well in lessons and around the school. At break and lunchtimes, pupils get on very well together. The school's curriculum is interesting and engagin...g.

It encourages a love of learning across a wide range of subjects. Leaders recognise that checking pupils' progress in national curriculum foundation subjects is not as well developed as it is for English and mathematics. Pupils are cared for very well.

Staff are passionate about ensuring pupils' well-being and safety. Teaching is effective. Pupils respond well to the highly structured approaches to learning.

The regular training for teachers and support staff has brought about great improvements in learning. Attendance is hugely improved, but in this school too much learning time is missed due to term-time holidays. While the gap in attainment between boys and girls narrows between pupils beginning school and ending key stage 1, the gap still exists.

Pupils' moral and social development is strong, but leaders recognise that pupils' spiritual and cultural development is not yet sufficient to prepare them well enough for life in modern Britain.
