Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school Leadership at all levels is highly effective.

There is a strong commitment to continuous improvement which is shared by all staff and governors. Honest and open self-evaluation is used to identify and swiftly address any areas where further improvements could be made. Communication at all levels is exemplary.

This includes between staff and pupils, among teachers and other staff, with parents and carers, and with a wide range of external agencies. Parents speak in glowing terms about the level of interaction, information and support they receive from the school. Pupils make exceptional progress because : leaders and staff personal...ise their responses, the curriculum and the support provided according to need.

Consequently, the small steps required to move forward in learning are identified and met. The very supportive and caring ethos provided by highly skilled staff is successfully combined with just the right level of challenge at the right point in time for each pupil. Teaching is highly effective because all staff work together seamlessly.

They know pupils exceptionally well and use their in-depth assessments to plan work which enables them to make remarkable progress from their starting points. Developing pupils' spiritual, moral social and cultural (SMSC) understanding, so that pupils are well prepared for life beyond school, underpins the school's whole approach. Careers advice and guidance, while good, is not outstanding.

The opportunities provided for some younger pupils in their early preparation for life beyond school are not of the same high standard as for others.
