Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school. Pupils make excellent progress in all classes across the school.

At the end of Year 6 pupils achieve standards in reading and mathematics that are well above average. Standards and progress in writing are not quite as high as in reading and mathematics, particularly for boys. Pupils do not always have enough opportunity to write at length across the curriculum.

High quality teaching ensures that pupils learn extremely well. It is at least consistently good and outstanding overall. Staff plan lessons that stimulate and engage pupils exceptionally well.

Staff know pupils very well and set work that enables all pupils to ma...ke rapid progress, including disadvantaged pupils and those who are disabled or who have special educational needs. Staff challenge pupils to do well and high quality marking ensures that pupils know what they need to do to improve. Teachers and teaching assistants work very closely and effectively together to support the learning of individual and vulnerable pupils.

Each pupil's progress is very carefully checked, and any slower progress is quickly and effectively addressed. Pupils' behaviour is outstanding in lessons and around the school. They enjoy school and have excellent attitudes to learning.

Pupils get on very well with one another, and there are excellent relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils feel completely safe in school and very well cared for. They say that bullying is extremely rare and that there is none in school at the moment.

The school has a rich and varied curriculum that engages pupils very effectively in their learning. There is a strong focus on creativity and the outdoor environment. Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is excellent.

The school is extremely well led and managed. There is a very calm, orderly and happy atmosphere. The headteacher, staff and governors have high ambitions and are committed to achieving the best outcomes for all pupils.

They have secured improvements to the quality of teaching and pupils' achievement since the previous inspection. Parents are very appreciative and strongly supportive of the school.

Information about this school

The school is much smaller than the average-sized primary school.

Pupils are taught in four classes from the Reception Year to Year 6, including three mixed-aged classes. Almost all pupils are from White British backgrounds and speak English as their first language. The proportion of disadvantaged pupils is below average.

These are pupils supported by the pupil premium which is funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and children looked after by the local authority. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs is above average. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which are the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics.
