Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school.

Pupils' achievement has improved since the last inspection. From their various starting points, all groups of pupils now make rapid progress overall during their time in the school. Proportions attaining the expected levels and above by the end of Key Stage 2 are now significantly high.

Teaching has improved since the last inspection and is now typically good with some outstanding teaching. This is because : the headteacher and senior leaders have excellent systems for checking the quality of teaching and provide clear guidance to teachers to help them improve their practice. The school provides a wealth of opportunities to promote pupil...s' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development as well as their physical well-being.

Pupils are proud of their school and have positive attitudes to learning. The school provides a calm, safe, harmonious learning environment because adults consistently manage behaviour well. The headteacher, senior leaders and governors are uncompromising in their relentless drive to ensure every pupil in the school achieves their very best.

Their ambitious expectations of rates of progress across the school have resulted in rapid improvements. Governors are extremely knowledgeable about the work of the school and provide high levels of challenge to ensure improvements are sustained. It is not yet an outstanding school because : There is not yet enough outstanding teaching to ensure all pupils consistently make rapid progress.

In the younger classes, learning sometimes slows because introductions to lessons are too long and pupils do not have enough time to practise their skills independently. There are not enough opportunities for pupils to use information and communication technology across the curriculum. This hinders the development of skills they will need for the future.

Information about this school

This is a larger than average primary school which is undergoing a programme of expansion and will become a three-form entry school by September 2014. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported at school action is higher than the national average while the proportion of those supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is similar to the national average. The proportion of pupils for whom the school receives the pupil premium (additional funding for children looked after by the local authority, those known to be eligible for free school meals and children of service families) is higher than the national average.

There are currently no pupils from service families on the roll of the school. Approximately one quarter of pupils are from minority ethnic backgrounds and proportions speaking English as an additional language are similar to nationally. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress.
