Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is an outstanding school. Members of the governing body and all staff are fully committed to, and have begun the process of transforming, the quality of education provided by the school. They have very high expectations for pupils' achievement and behaviour.

The school is led and managed extremely well. Senior leaders have been exceptionally effective in bringing about sustained improvements in teaching and pupils' achievement and behaviour, but realise that they must raise achievement further. The quality of teaching and pupils' learning are monitored meticulously to inform the highly effective improvement plans.

Pupils' achievement is good. Although sta...ndards are still below average, pupils now make very rapid progress and the standards they attain are rising. The high numbers of pupils who do not speak English well quickly develop their language skills so that they can access all subjects.

Teaching is never less than good and much is outstanding. Teachers plan in great detail so that pupils are fully engaged in their learning throughout each lesson. Teachers are remarkably consistent and accurate in the way they assess pupils' work.

Pupils know how well they are doing and what they have to do to improve. Pupils enjoy their lessons. They know they are learning well and enjoy coming to school.

They feel safe, secure and behave exceedingly well. Their attendance has improved and is now above average. In the Early Years Foundation Stage, children participate in a wide range of interesting and purposeful activities and make outstanding progress in their learning.

Almost all pupils in this group are those eligible for free school meals, and some are looked after children. There are many more pupils than average who speak English as an additional language.

The proportion of pupils who receive extra support through school action is above average and the proportions supported through school action plus or with a statement of special educational needs are well above average.
