Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school This is a school that has improved significantly since the previous inspection.

Pupils are happy and safe, and love school. Every person in school strives to ensure that it is a caring and nurturing place where pupils learn and thrive. Under the skilled leadership of the headteacher, the desire to provide the best possible teaching, outcomes and experiences for all pupils is tangible.

As a result, the school continues to improve and flourish. Leaders are crystal clear about the school's strengths and areas for development. They are determined to eradicate underperformance so that all aspects of school are of the highest quality.

...Children, in the early years, make a good start to their learning. They make good progress and are well prepared to start Year 1. Outcomes for pupils are now good.

Current pupils are making good progress from their individual starting points in reading, writing and mathematics. Some pupils' attainment remains below that found nationally. The behaviour of pupils is good.

They respect and care for each other. Pupils are polite and display good manners. They freely and confidently engage in conversation.

Pupils' personal development and welfare are good. They are well prepared for the next step in their education. The wider curriculum develops pupils' curiosity and creativity, and fires their enthusiasm to learn very effectively.

Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good. They have significant and ambitious aspirations to secure successful careers. The school has worked hard to improve pupils' rates of attendance with some success.

These improvements need to continue so that fewer pupils are persistently absent. Because of consistently good teaching, pupils are learning quickly. Teachers and teaching assistants alike are skilled at supporting pupils' learning.

Teachers generally match work accurately to pupils' varying abilities in reading, writing and mathematics. Opportunities for pupils in key stage 1 to use their mathematical reasoning skills are sparse. The school has worked hard to develop pupils' early reading skills and foster a love of reading.

Currently not all pupils can write at length, both creatively and independently.
