Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Senior leaders are ambitious and have created a strong culture of improvement across the school.

Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is effective. Pupils are supported to build key skills, knowledge and understanding both in class and through specialist activities. As a result, they make good progress from their starting points.

Children make a good start to their learning in the early years. They learn how to be safe and have very positive relationships with both one another and adults. Leaders in the early years have formed a strong team and now have a clear understanding of what children need ...to do to improve.

Pupils' health and well-being is nurtured well. The sports premium funding is used to provide a wide range of sporting activities. The pupil premium funding is used effectively to support a range of therapeutic activities.

Pupils' behaviour is resoundingly positive both in class and around the school. They are courteous of adults and caring of one another. Teaching has strengthened quickly.

Questioning is used well to encourage pupils to think about their reasoning in mathematics, helping them to build secure knowledge and understanding. The curriculum captures pupils' imagination across a wide range of subjects. Opportunities to write across the curriculum help pupils practise writing skills.

However, progress in the wider curriculum is not yet consistent in some year groups. Pupils are keen to be in school, and they attend school regularly. The school has a range of highly effective systems to encourage positive attendance.

Pupils feel safe, and they enjoy being in school. Outcomes are strengthening across the school. Pupils read well and apply the skills they have learned in writing and mathematics across the curriculum.

However, the progress of the most-able pupils is not yet consistently strong. Governors undertake their responsibilities conscientiously. They support improvements that leaders make.

However, their checks do not yet consistently hold school leaders to account.
