Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders have a clear vision of how the school serves its community. They have been successful in making that vision a reality. The recently appointed headteacher has set out clear expectations for teaching, learning and assessment practice in the school.

Teachers rise to these expectations so that pupils enjoy high-quality teaching. Pupils' behaviour is good. They enjoy strong relationships with one another and adults in the school.

As a result, pupils are confident in their learning and in their social interactions. Pupils make good progress in phonics and are confident readers. The proportion of pupils who meet the required standard in ...phonics screening checks is well above national figures.

Leaders have created a strong culture of reading. Pupils value reading opportunities and read widely and often. Pupils confidently tackle questions about a text they have read.

Leaders use visitors to the school to good effect. A local member of parliament visited the school during the school council election and presented badges to elected pupils. Pupils who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities make good progress.

Adults effectively adapt teaching to meet pupils' specific needs. Most pupils apply their mathematical reasoning and problem-solving knowledge well. However, the proportion of most-able pupils working at the higher standards is less than national.

Leaders have an accurate evaluation of the school's performance. They use information purposefully, including providing staff with quality training and professional development. Pupils across key stage 1 make consistently good progress in reading and mathematics.

In writing, pupils are not yet confidently applying spelling strategies, slowing progress. Leaders have taken effective action to reduce pupils' overall absence. However, absence remains high for disadvantaged pupils and while persistent absence has fallen, it remains above the national average.

Pupils benefit from high-quality opportunities to develop their personal development and welfare. They show an astute understanding of the school's values and know what it means to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. Children in the early years make good progress.

However, the proportion of the most able children currently exceeding the age-related expectations in writing and mathematics is below national figures.
