Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school. Children make an excellent start to their school life in the outstanding Early Years Foundation Stage. Pupils throughout the school make rapid progress from their starting points and attain high standards in reading, writing and mathematics.

High proportions of pupils are making better progress than similar pupils nationally. Although there is an excellent computer suite pupils would benefit from more access to computers and other technologies in the classrooms to improve their learning further. Teaching is of a consistently high quality because work is adapted to meet the needs and interests of individual pupils.

All teachers an...d teaching assistants have high expectations of pupils and take every opportunity to motivate them to achieve their best. All pupils thrive in a vibrant learning environment where they are known and valued as individuals. Their personal and academic skills are developed and celebrated.

As a result, pupils display exemplary attitudes to learning, behave outstandingly well and know how to stay safe. Their enjoyment and love of learning are reflected in their above average and improving attendance. The curriculum is rich and varied, providing excellent opportunities for pupils to explore and investigate learning both in and out of classroom.

A vast range of clubs, visits, visitors and residential trips provide superb support to the outstanding learning experiences on offer. The curriculum is particularly strong in its support for the environment, sport and the arts. The inspirational headteacher has ensured that the outstanding practice seen at the last inspection has been sustained and indeed improved.

Her uncompromising desire to make the school the very best it can be has galvanised the whole community and ensured that attainment continues to rise. The headteacher receives exceptional support from all the staff, particularly senior leaders. The school has excellent relationships with parents and the wider community.

Governors provide exceptionally effective support and challenge in holding the school to account. This has ensured that the school is highly reflective and never expects anything but the best. Pupils and staff thrive in this climate of continuous improvement.
