Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher leads the school effectively. Since her appointment, she has developed a strong staff team who have driven improvements strongly.

She is supported well by senior and middle leaders. The curriculum is extremely rich, creative and stimulating. Subject leaders ensure that pupils are developing their subject-specific knowledge.

Leaders place a strong emphasis on pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Pupils have a good understanding of British values. Teachers use their secure subject knowledge to plan creative and exciting lessons for pupils.

Teaching assistants plan and work closely with teachers... and contribute significantly to pupils' learning. Pupils' attainment and progress in reading, writing and mathematics has been above average at the end of key stages 1 and 2 over time. Attainment and progress of current pupils in each year group is variable.

Most parents/carers are positive about the school, praising strong communication and their children's progress. A small proportion of parents shared concerns relating to pupils' behaviour and bullying. Children in early years make a strong start to their education.

They thrive in the purposeful, inviting and nurturing learning environment. Children make strong progress and are prepared exceptionally well for Year 1. Pupils do not build progressively on their exceptional start in early years.

The expectations of what pupils can achieve are not as consistently high in key stage 1 as in the early years. Pupils with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported well. They make good progress from their starting points.

Governors are forward-thinking. They seek to constantly improve their own knowledge and skills and thus provide effective challenge and support for school leaders. Although improving, the proportions of pupils who are absent or persistently absent are worse than the national averages.

Term-time holidays have a negative impact on pupils' achievements over time. Although reducing, the proportion of pupils in receipt of fixed-term exclusions is greater than the national average.
