Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Leaders and governors have been successful in improving the quality of teaching and pupils' outcomes. As a result, the school has improved and is now good.

Leaders have dealt successfully with the recommendations of the previous inspection. For example, pupils' writing books throughout the school show that the quality of writing is strong. Governors ask searching questions and hold school leaders firmly to account for pupils' achievement.

As a result of the close cooperation between leaders and governors, pupils now make better progress in their learning. Leaders are successful in creating a school that has strong values, shared by all. T...he school promotes pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development well.

Behaviour is good. Pupils are keen to learn. They are polite to visitors and get on well together.

They show their enjoyment of school through attendance that is now above average. Pastoral care is strong. The school keeps pupils safe and teaches them to keep themselves safe.

Good teaching overall results in pupils learning well in all subjects. Questioning is a strength of the teaching. Teaching assistants are deployed well to help pupils, particularly those who have a range of additional needs.

Consistently good feedback, both oral and written, helps pupils understand how to improve their work. Pupils' outcomes are much improved, especially in Key Stage 1, where outcomes have been significantly above average for the last two years. A particular success story for the school is the achievement of disadvantaged pupils, particularly in mathematics in both key stages.

Their attainment and progress generally match, or in a minority of cases exceed, those of other pupils at the school. Children in the Reception class learn well and make good progress. The adults are caring.

They work in close partnership with parents to ensure that the good learning at school continues at home. The indoor learning and play areas provide good opportunities for children to learn a wide variety of skills, including literacy and numeracy skills. It is not yet an outstanding school because : The impact of teaching on pupils' learning is not at a consistently high enough level to enable more pupils to make rapid progress.

Work set is not always carefully matched to pupils' ability to ensure that they are suitably challenged. The outdoor learning and play areas in the Reception class do not provide enough stimulating opportunities for children to learn such high-quality skills as they do indoors.
