Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher's aspiration for all pupils to achieve well is successful in motivating improvements across the school. Her clear vision for pupils' learning and well-being is at the core of everything the school does.

The well-designed curriculum successfully inspires pupils' learning across a broad range of subjects. As a result, pupils work hard because : they are interested and keen to learn. Effective teaching ensures that most pupils make good progress, particularly in English and mathematics.

However, the most able pupils do not consistently achieve as well as they could. Pupils write for different purposes. Skilful teaching enable...s pupils to make rapid progress.

However, some pupils do not yet reliably use their knowledge of phonics well enough when they write. Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is strong. The school's Christian values successfully permeate all aspects of school life.

Pupils are thoughtful and respect each other's differences. Pupils are kind and friendly. Daily routines are well established and pupils know what is expected of them.

Pupils are exceptionally proud of their school and enjoy talking to visitors about their learning. Adept additional support ensures that the many pupils who join the school at different points throughout the year settle in quickly. Consequently, these pupils typically make swift progress from their starting points.

Safeguarding is effective. Pupils flourish because they feel safe and secure. Disadvantaged pupils and those who speak English as an additional language make strong and often fast progress in their learning.

This is because the additional support they receive is carefully matched to their needs. However, disadvantaged pupils do not make the accelerated progress they need to catch up with others from their typically lower starting points. Despite impressive improvements, some pupils, particularly disadvantaged pupils and those who have special educational needs (SEN) and/or disabilities, do not attend school regularly enough.
