Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. The headteacher's clear focus on consistently raising pupils' achievement and aspirations is shared by staff, senior leaders and members of the governing body. Good leadership of teaching and learning together with effective management of teachers' performance has ensured that teaching is consistently good.

Over the past three years standards have risen year-on-year at the end of Year 2 and standards at the end of Year 6 have remained consistently above the national average. All groups of pupils make good progress because work is set at the right level of challenge and good partnerships with parents and carers have a positive impact on pupils' le...arning. The school's caring ethos ensures that everyone is included, pupils feel safe and behaviour is consistently good.

Members of the governing body are knowledgeable about the school and play an active part in making important decisions which drive the school forward. It is not yet an outstanding school because: The proportion of teaching which is outstanding is not high enough to ensure all pupils learn exceptionally well. Pupils are not enthused by writing when they do not understand the purpose for writing and opportunities are sometimes missed to extend pupils' vocabulary.

Teachers do not always make sure pupils know how to improve their work or have the time to make those improvements. Pupils' awareness of the skills they need to help them learn is not as well developed in some classes as it is in others.
