Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. Children in the Nursery and Reception achieve well. They are confident and motivated learners.

Pupils in Years 1 to 4 make good progress in reading, writing and mathematics. Increasing proportions of pupils make outstanding progress in writing. By the end of Year 4, pupils attain standards that are above those expected for their age.

Teaching is usually good and sometimes outstanding. Teachers plan activities which are interesting so that pupils enjoy learning. Pupils behave well in lessons and at break times.

They are polite and respectful. Staff are caring and help pupils to feel safe and secure. The headteacher provides effec...tive leadership.

She knows what has to be done to help all groups of pupils make even faster progress, and is ensuring that teaching and pupils' achievement continue to improve. Governors provide senior leaders with a strong level of support and challenge. It is not yet an outstanding school because : A small amount of teaching is not consistently good or better because activities are not carefully matched to pupils of different abilities, especially the more able.

Although pupils' progress in mathematics is good over time, in some lessons, pupils do not always make fast enough progress. In the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, further work is required to close the gap between the attainment of boys and girls so that boys do better.
