Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Since the previous inspection, leaders have been instrumental in ensuring that pupils now receive a good standard of education. Leaders' tenacious focus on standards of teaching and learning, particularly for teachers new to the school, has been excellent.

This allows for consistency in standards across the school. The interim headteacher provides strong, reflective leadership and the two deputy headteachers provide excellent support. Together, they have been essential to the stability and improvements in the school.

However, the effectiveness of middle leadership is still at an early stage of development. Governors are ambitious for the ...school and have a clear understanding of its strengths and weaknesses. They reflect on their own practice well and hold leaders to account.

The behaviour of pupils is good. They understand the school's values very well. The majority of parents agree that pupils show great respect to their peers and value the broad and balanced curriculum, which supports their development.

Teachers know their pupils well. There is a consistent, whole-school drive to develop pupils' speaking and listening skills. Teachers ask probing questions and have high expectations.

Leaders' actions to improve attendance have been successful. Previous rates of poor attendance have improved. Pupils with education, health and care plans for hearing impairment receive effective support.

They are included fully in lessons and receive expert help. Provision for pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities has been variable. Owing to past weak leadership, these pupils make limited progress.

Children in Nursery and the early years receive strong support. They make good progress and receive effective support from adults. Children thrive in a safe and stimulating environment.

Standards across the school are rising. Pupils make good progress from their starting points and attain typically in line with national averages.
