Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Senior leaders have ensured that pupils receive a good quality of education. Consistently good teaching ensures that overall, pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and pupils who speak English as an additional language, make good progress, from generally low starting points.

Good-quality provision in early years enables children to make good gains in their learning. Governance is extremely effective. Governors have a deep understanding of the school and use this knowledge to provide leaders with high-quality support and challenge.

There is a strong culture of safeguarding. ...Work to promote pupils' personal development and welfare is a real strength. Staff provide high-quality care for pupils and their families.

This inclusive school engages fully with its diverse community. Pupils' conduct is exemplary. They get along together well and show respect for others.

Excellent attitudes to learning mean that lesson time is well used. Pupils enjoy everything that school life has to offer. This is shown by their good attendance.

The work that teachers set for the most able pupils does not always make them think hard enough. Pupils make strong progress in mathematics at both key stages 1 and 2. At the end of key stage 2, standards in mathematics have been above average for two years.

By contrast, standards in reading are less secure. A lack of vocabulary knowledge, especially in different contexts, hinders some pupils in their understanding. At the end of key stage 1, the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standards in reading, writing and mathematics has been below the national average for two years.

Leaders make sure that the curriculum provides all pupils with memorable experiences. However, teaching does not consistently build on these to deepen pupils' learning in subjects other than English and mathematics.
