Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders and governors have clear aspirations for the school. They foster a caring and nurturing environment. Parents recognise that the school is strongly led.

They appreciate that the school plays a valuable part in the local community. Pupils enjoy a rich and varied curriculum, enhanced by a wide range of extra-curricular activities. The curriculum allows pupils to develop their reading, writing and mathematics effectively, applying their skills in a range of subjects.

The broad and exciting curriculum, with the many opportunities it offers, also contributes to pupils' excellent personal development. The quality of teaching and learning... is good. Leaders provide staff with effective training and support.

Pupils in key stages 1 and 2 make good progress from their starting points in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make good progress. So, too, do disadvantaged pupils and pupils who speak English as an additional language.

Children in the early years learn in a rich, vibrant and stimulating environment which helps them to make good progress. Parents state that their children are safe and well looked after. Pupils' behaviour and conduct are exemplary.

They are extremely polite and welcoming. They take great pride in their work and their school. Leaders' evaluation of the impact of the school's strategies to raise pupils' achievement is insufficiently incisive.

The curriculum does not support clear progression in some subjects, including science. On occasion, teaching is insufficiently challenging; and limits the opportunities pupils have for reasoning in mathematics.
