This is a good school Teaching, learning and assessment are consistently good. As a result, all pupils learn and achieve well. Pupils' personal development, welfare and behaviour are outstanding.
Their behaviour in lessons and around the school site is truly impeccable. Pupils take their learning seriously and are superb ambassadors for the school. The headteacher and his leadership team work effectively together to improve teaching and maintain the school's welcoming ethos.
Pupils attain well in English and mathematics, reaching standards that compare well with national figures. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development contributes well to pupils' imp...ressive conduct, attitudes and relationships. The school's curriculum interests pupils and prepares them well for secondary school.
Leaders are rightly developing their curriculum planning in order to increase pupils' opportunities to learn at a deeper level. Pupils are safe in the school and know that adults are there to help them. Leaders work productively with other agencies.
Strong systems are in place to protect pupils from harm. Parents rate the school highly, appreciate its nurturing atmosphere and are pleased with their children's progress. Pupils make particularly good progress and attain well in reading.
However, some most-able pupils do not make the excellent progress they are capable of in writing, mathematics and across the curriculum. Leaders do not oversee the school's performance with enough attention to detail. Improvements to the school's performance are not measured precisely by their impact on outcomes for pupils.
Governors support the school loyally, are ambitious and committed. However, they do not always challenge school leaders firmly enough.
