Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school.

The headteacher, deputy headteacher, other leaders and governors have very high aspirations for the school. Their strong actions and effective support have improved teaching and achievement substantially in a short period of time. Pupils' attainment is very high in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Key Stage 2.

Standards in these subjects at the end of Key Stage 1 are also above national expectations. All groups of pupils make rapid, and sometimes extremely rapid, progress as they move through the school. Disadvantaged pupils often make more progress than other pupils as a result of the highly effective support they ...receive.

Early years provision is outstanding. Staff make excellent use of the indoor and outdoor space to ensure that children learn very well. The school promotes British values very clearly and effectively.

It strongly nurtures pupils' sense of moral responsibility towards others. Pupils concentrate and focus on their learning very well. Their work often shows great care and thoughtfulness.

Pupils treat each other very respectfully. The school has very high expectations of pupils' behaviour, which is outstanding. The school keeps pupils very safe.

It works highly effectively with other agencies to protect vulnerable pupils and monitors their well-being carefully. Outstanding teaching is established across the school. Teachers and teaching assistants identify and respond to individual pupils' needs very well and enable pupils to make rapid progress.

Teachers give pupils of all different abilities very high levels of challenge through their questioning and the tasks they set. Teachers' marking in books is often very helpful and substantial. However, the marking at the top of the school tends to be even more thorough and more obviously responded to by pupils.

Information about this school

The school is a larger-than-average-sized primary school. The school meets the government's current floor standards, which set the minimum expectations for pupils' attainment and progress. The proportion of pupils supported by the pupil premium (additional government funding for children known to be eligible for free school meals or in the care of the local authority) is in line with the national average.

The proportion of disabled pupils and those who have special educational needs is higher than in most other schools. Most pupils are of White British heritage. Children in the early years have three full-time Reception classes provided for them.
