Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders and governors have worked with tenacity to address areas for improvement identified in the previous inspection.

As a result, the quality of teaching is now good and pupils make good progress in all key stages. By the end of Year 6, standards of attainment are above average. Pupils are well prepared for secondary school.

Recently appointed subject leaders have made marked improvements to the curriculum. Middle Leaders are developing their skills to evaluate fully the effect of their actions on pupils' learning and progress. However, they have yet to develop their skills fully in checking the quality of teaching and learning.
...r/>Staff share the same aspirations as leaders for pupils' outcomes and are committed and dedicated to improving the school further. Children make good progress in the early years. There are varied and exciting opportunities for them to develop their early reading, writing and mathematics skills.

The curriculum is broad and balanced and engages pupils in their learning, contributing to the good progress that they make. The school's work to promote pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is effective. However, pupils have a less explicit understanding of the importance of British values.

Leaders ensure that there is a good range of opportunities for pupils to develop their English and mathematics skills across the curriculum. Governors work closely with senior leaders and teachers. They provide effective support and challenge so that the school continues to improve.

Pupils demonstrate positive attitudes towards their learning; they behave sensibly around the school. As a result, there is a calm and purposeful learning environment. Most pupils present their work well.

However, not all teachers have the same high expectations of pupils' presentation of their work and handwriting. Leaders and governors ensure that funding to support disadvantaged pupils is used effectively. As a result, disadvantaged pupils' progress is improving.

However, the proportion of disadvantaged pupils reaching the higher standard is below that of other pupils nationally. Leaders understand the main priorities for improvement. However, action plans are not precise enough to improve the quality of teaching and pupils' progress further.

Pupils are kept safe, feel safe and are well cared for.
