Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Strong leadership from the executive headteacher, headteacher, other leaders and governors has greatly improved the quality of teaching and pupils' progress since the last inspection. Leaders carry out thorough checks on the quality of teaching and on pupils' progress. Pupils make faster progress in writing and mathematics than in reading.

This is because : tasks in reading do not always match the needs and abilities of pupils. As a result of structured and personalised training and development, teaching has improved and is now good. Teamwork is strong across the school.

Staff work together well to make improvements in provision. Most pup...ils, including those supported by pupil premium funding and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), now make good or better progress from their starting points in English, mathematics and other subjects. Children in the early years foundation stage make good progress from their starting points.

This is due to a very positive learning environment that engages them, encourages them to learn and develops independence. The curriculum gives pupils a range of experiences and understanding. They would benefit from developing subject-specific skills in the wider curriculum.

Pupils' behaviour and attitudes are exemplary. Their attendance is now above average. They want to be at school because they thoroughly enjoy their learning experiences.

Excellent care, guidance and support firmly underpin pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Most parents feel that their children are happy, safe and well looked after. They are highly complimentary about the improvements in communication from the school since the last inspection.

The newly formed governing body runs various checks that give them an increasingly clear understanding of the school. Members use their skills to support leadership and management, but also to challenge the school to strive for improvement continually.
