Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. The school is outstandingly well led by the headteacher and leadership team, who have driven recent improvements at a rapid pace.

As a result, teaching has improved considerably and there has been a marked increase in achievement in the last year. Pupils make outstanding progress in reading and writing and good progress in mathematics. Teaching is never less than good and often outstanding.

Pupils' behaviour inside and outside the classroom is outstanding and they feel very safe at school. Pupils with speech and language difficulties, and those who are disabled or have special educational needs, make outstanding progress. Pupils' enthusi...asm and successes in sporting, technological and artistic activities are an important factor in their personal development.

This is a caring school and the support given to those pupils who need extra help is exemplary. There has been a relentless drive by all staff to try to achieve the best possible outcomes in literacy and numeracy for all pupils. The partnership with the local education authority and with other local schools has helped to improve teaching.

It is not yet an outstanding school because : Older pupils' progress in mathematics, although good, is not as rapid and sustained as in English. Some children in the Reception class are not making the progress of which they are capable.
