Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders and governors offer a clear and ambitious vision that is shared by all staff. Together, they have brought about significant improvements since the previous inspection.

Leaders know the school well and continue to drive improvement with energy and purpose. Effective governance provides leaders with support and challenge in equal measures. Subject leaders and teaching staff are provided with strong direction.

They understand their roles in continuing the school's improvement. Published information and school records show that the achievement of most pupils has improved significantly, particularly in mathematics, which was a weaker s...ubject in the past. Teaching is well planned.

Teachers make strong use of assessment information to provide suitably challenging work for pupils of different abilities. Pupils' attitudes and behaviour are good in lessons and around the school. The school is a calm and respectful environment.

Parents strongly support the school and acknowledge the improvement work of leaders since the previous inspection. The progress of disadvantaged pupils is good. Leaders use the pupil premium funding carefully in order to support them and help them to overcome barriers to learning.

Children in the early years make excellent progress because teaching and the curriculum are outstanding. Attendance has improved because leaders have taken effective action to reduce the persistent non-attendance of different pupils. Most teachers use questioning skilfully to set challenging tasks for pupils.

However, some questioning does not support pupils to think deeply enough about their learning. Pupils' fluency in mathematics is a strength. However, some teaching does not sufficiently develop pupils' higher reasoning skills.

In some foundation subjects (subjects other than English and mathematics), higher-level skills are not taught as well as in other subjects.
