Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school Since the previous inspection, the headteacher has developed a highly effective leadership team. Working closely together, leaders have raised standards throughout the school. School leaders provide high-quality support to teachers and make thorough checks on the progress made by pupils.

As a result, the quality of teaching is strong and outcomes in English and mathematics are improving rapidly. Good teaching and well-planned learning opportunities help children to make a good start in the early years. As a result, they make strong progress and are well prepared for key stage 1.

Governors keep a close eye on the school's work. They are we...ll informed and are ambitious for pupils. They take their role seriously, providing very effective support and challenge to leaders.

Teachers in all phases of the school are quick to identify pupils who are at risk of falling behind. They modify their teaching and provide support that enables the majority of pupils to make good progress, particularly in reading and mathematics. Pupils enjoy and value school.

They work hard in lessons and behave well inside and outside their classrooms. The school supports children and their families effectively, and as a result, pupils' attendance is improving. Pupils benefit from a rich range of trips, visitors and events, but leadership of the broader curriculum is in the early stages of development.

Pupils' knowledge and skills in some subjects are not developed sequentially. The impact of leaders' strategies to raise standards in reading and mathematics is not as evident in writing. The quality of pupils' writing is more variable, with smaller proportions of pupils writing at higher standards.
