Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school.

Pupils achieve well and standards are above average in reading and well above average in writing. Teaching is good overall and some is outstanding. Teachers use questioning well to make pupils think and they plan lessons that motivate and interest pupils.

As a result, progress in reading, writing and mathematics is good. Leaders have an accurate view of the school's strengths and weaknesses and have identified the correct priorities to continue to improve the school. The governors are dedicated and highly effective.

They make a strong contribution to school improvement. Pupils have excellent manners and behave extremely well aro...und school and in the playground. They have good attitudes to learning which help them to make good progress.

Pupils like school, feel safe and secure and feel valued as individuals. This is reflected in their well-above-average attendance. The improvement in the teaching of phonics (the sounds letters make) is having a positive impact on the progress pupils make in reading and writing.

The staff are dedicated, enjoy their work and are keen to do their best for the pupils. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Pupils do not apply their mathematical skills enough in other subjects or use what they know about numbers to solve problems. The presentation of work and handwriting of some pupils is untidy.

Senior leaders do not always analyse and use data about pupils' progress as effectively as they could to improve pupils' achievement. In some lessons, the work for the most able pupils is too easy and they are not moved on to harder learning quickly enough. Leaders' guidance to teachers is not focused enough on how pupils could make faster progress.

Leaders do not always go back quickly or regularly enough to check their recommendations have been acted upon.

Information about this school

The school is smaller than the average-sized primary school. The proportion of pupils supported by pupil premium funding (additional government funding for pupils known to be eligible for free school meals and those in local authority care) is much lower than the national average.

The proportion of pupils from minority ethnic heritages is well below average. Almost all pupils are from White British backgrounds. The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs supported through school action is above average.

The proportion of pupils supported through school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs is below average. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress in English and mathematics by the end of Year 6. The headteacher and deputy headteacher have been in post since September 2013.
