Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders and governors have brought about significant improvements since the previous inspection.

Standards are rising and pupils are increasingly well prepared for their next steps. Leaders, governors and staff have successfully created an inclusive, positive and aspirational culture. Staff feel valued, are highly motivated and support each other well.

The Discovery Schools Academy Trust has made an effective contribution to the school's improvement. Staff benefit from a range of training and development which has improved their practice. Teachers encourage pupils to work hard, believe in themselves and do their best.

Reading is ...promoted and taught well throughout the school. Pupils show compassion and empathy for other people. They are proud of their school, behave well and feel and are kept safe.

The early years is well led and managed. Teachers plan learning effectively to meet children's needs. An increasing proportion of children are well prepared for Year 1.

Parents and carers do not contribute consistently well to their children's learning in the early years. Disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not attend as well as others. The curriculum promotes learning in English and mathematics well.

However, the coverage of topics in the wider curriculum is less well planned. Pupils do not achieve as well in writing as they do in reading and mathematics. The most able pupils are not consistently well challenged by their work.

Information about this school

The proportion of pupils with SEND is higher than that seen nationally. Pupils who speak English as an additional language make up approximately one quarter of all pupils. The school provides a daily breakfast club.

The school's governance is provided by the advisory board, which includes members of the academy trust. The early years provision provides for children of Nursery age, who attend for morning or afternoon sessions, and for children of Reception age, who attend full-time. Currently, there is no provision for two-year-olds.
