The quality of teaching is outstanding and never less than good. Lessons are highly enjoyable and well planned, enabling pupils to flourish at their time in the school.

Pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning are outstanding. Relationships are a real strength. Pupils feel very safe and respect the staff, themselves and each other.

From well-below age-related expectations when they start school, the proportion of pupils achieving... the expected levels for their age by the end of Year 6 is above average in English and mathematics. The quality of the learning environment is superb. Displays are interactive, colourful and highly informative.

The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic heritages is above average, as is the proportion at an early stage of learning English.

The proportion of pupils supported through school action is above average. The proportion supported at school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is just below average. All classes through the school are single-age classes.
