Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. By the time pupils leave the school, their attainment in English and mathematics is high and they are well prepared for secondary school. Their speaking and listening skills are exceptional because of the very many opportunities they have to share and explain their ideas.

Teaching is consistently good across the school enabling all groups of pupils to make good progress. The progress of pupils in Year 6 is rapid due to very strong teaching. Pupils behave extremely well and respond keenly to the high expectations that are placed on them and that they set for themselves.

They have exemplary attitudes to learning. Leaders routinely consult ...pupils, parents, carers and staff about the school's policies, practices and plans for the school's future. As a consequence, everyone is totally committed and pulling in the same direction.

The school works in complete harmony with its parent community who subscribes totally to what the school is doing and to how it is led and managed. The curriculum is well designed, providing lots of stimulating activities for pupils which adds to pupils' very positive attitudes. Governors provide highly effective support, challenge and strategic direction for the school.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : There is not enough outstanding teaching. In some lessons pupils do not get to work on their own quickly enough. They are also not given enough opportunities to reflect how they can improve their work.

Learning opportunities outside do not match those inside in the early years and limit the gains children make in their learning. The management of performance for teaching assistants is not as systematic as for teachers. The school's plans for the future do not include milestone targets to enable leaders to measure regularly if its actions are working to raise achievement.

Information about this school

This is smaller-than-average-sized primary school and most pupils are of White British heritage. Less than one in twenty pupils is eligible for the pupil premium (additional government funding which in this school supports pupils known to be eligible for free school meals, looked after pupils and pupils from service families), which is below average. The proportion of disabled pupils and those with special educational needs supported through school action is average.

The proportions supported through school action plus or with a statement of special educational need are below that found nationally. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. Since the last inspection the school has appointed a new Chair of the Governing Body and, in September 2012, appointed a teacher who is new to the profession.
