Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leadership and management are good. The headteacher and senior leaders have created a culture of high expectations for all pupils. Governors have a strategic vision for the school.

They have an accurate view of the school's strengths and weaknesses. The headteacher, ably supported by the leadership team and governors, is securing good teaching which contributes to pupils' good progress. As yet, however, teachers are not fully effective in using information about pupils' attainment to plan well-targeted activities.

Pupils make strong progress from low starting points. They achieve well across a range of subjects. However, pupils' achieveme...nt in writing is not as strong as it is in reading and mathematics, and presentation of work is sometimes careless.

The school's curriculum encourages teachers to plan stimulating lessons, taking full advantage of the locality. Pupils' behaviour is outstanding. Pupils are extremely proud of their school and very keen to learn well.

Attendance levels are above national averages and pupils enjoy coming to this school. The school's good work to celebrate diversity and promote equality engenders a culture of tolerance and respect among pupils in the school. Staff provide high-quality support for pupils' personal development.

Pupils know there is always someone who will listen when they need help. Children in the early years make good progress within a warm and supportive learning environment.
