Key findings

This is a good school. Its accurate understanding of its performance and effective strategies to strengthen the quality of teaching and leadership result in pupils' good academic achievement and their good spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. The school's overall effectiveness is good rather than outstanding because pupils do not all learn as very rapidly as they could.

Most assessment is accurate and much of its use supports pupils' good progress. However, systems to evaluate the rate of progress of those pupils working at below the national curriculum levels are not embedded. Pupils do not make maximum use of the targets they are given and targets are not all regularly reviewed and up t...o date.

Pupils are not always sure about what they have achieved in lessons and the next steps forward. The achievement of all groups of pupils is good from the Early Years Foundation Stage onwards, from their individual starting points. They reach above average standards in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6.

The quality of teaching is good. Teachers' careful planning results in interesting tasks that engage pupils and provide an accurate level of challenge to match the levels at which they are working. Behaviour and safety are good.

Both in lessons and around the school, pupils' behaviour creates a positive learning and playing environment, within a caring and sharing ethos. They feel safe and understand how to stay safe. Leadership and management, incorporating the leadership of teaching, are good at all levels.

Observations of teaching are accurate and inform school development planning. Together with performance management objectives that match staff's individual development needs as well as the school's priorities, they lead to effective improvements in the quality of pupils' learning and in the curriculum.
